John C. Robison is greatly interested in Indians and has read many books on the subject in addition to Theodore Roosevelt’s works and asks for reading recommendations. His life would have been different had Roosevelt reappointed him as Indian Allotting Agent in 1904, but he understands that Roosevelt did his best with the given information.
