A newspaper article states that President Roosevelt will be writing a story about his hunt in Colorado and Oklahoma, either in article or book form, in coming years under the advice of friends. While Roosevelt prefers waiting until after he leaves the White House to publish it, there is recognition that many will likely lose interest in reading on the subject by then. The article notes other pieces of Roosevelt’s published while he was in office as Governor of New York and as Vice President, including “Our Boys” and “With the Cougar Hounds.” Publishers were not in a rush to print his work until after the “tragedy in Buffalo,” referring to the shooting of President McKinley at the Pan-American Exposition.
