William Myall has just finished President Roosevelt’s book The Winning of the West. Overall he thought it was a good book, and offers one correction should Roosevelt wish to make it in subsequent editions. The book states that the Lewis and Clark expedition ate dogs because the Indians ate dogs, however, Myall has read a number of statements in records of the expedition that indicate that the Indians did not eat dogs.
