Char Miller recounts the friendship and working relationship between Theodore Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot, and he gives an introduction to a eulogy Pinchot wrote for the Journal of Forestry after Roosevelt’s death in early 1919. In the eulogy, Pinchot discusses the important role that Roosevelt played in establishing the United States Forest Service and in greatly expanding the scope of federally protected forest land.
Three photographs, including two of Pinchot, a 1912 campaign poster supporting Roosevelt, and a page from the Journal of Forestry eulogy supplement the article. The text includes the complete eulogy penned by Pinchot.
