William N. Tilchin examines the history of the Theodore Roosevelt Association Journal (TRAJ) with an emphasis on the work of John A. Gable, the long-time executive director of the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) and the founder and editor of the TRAJ. Tilchin explains that Gable founded the TRAJ as a way to grow the membership of the TRA and to provide an outlet for the study of Theodore Roosevelt. Tichin notes that Gable succeeded in both tasks, and he explains the changes he has made to the TRAJ during his tenue which began in 2006. The changes include requiring peer review of submitted manuscripts, publishing regular columns like “Presidential Snapshots” and “The Material Culture of Theodore Roosevelt,” and updating the design and layout of the journal.
The article includes nineteen front cover illustrations from the TRAJ as well as six pages of excerpts from articles, reviews, and speeches. A text box with the mission statement of the TRA appears at the end of the article.
