Subject(s): Mission statements, Morris, Edmund, New York (State)--Syracuse, Pamphlets, Presidents--Books and reading, Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919

Gregory A. Wynn presents an item from his Theodore Roosevelt collection, an obscure pamphlet, Roosevelt: Lover of Books, that was published by the Syracuse, New York, public library in 1920. The pamphlet includes a variety of lists, including books and book introductions written by Roosevelt, and references to famous authors found in Roosevelt’s writings. The pamphlet also includes a section, “T.R.’s note book,” that provides brief reviews of other authors and their work taken from Roosevelt’s books. A text box with the mission statement of the Theodore Roosevelt Association appears in the column.
