Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Louis B. Hanna

In accord with North Dakota Senator Hanna’s request, Theodore Roosevelt sat for sculptor Gustav Vigeland while he was in Oslo, Norway. However, Roosevelt still believes that the statue Hanna wishes to create should be of a cowboy or a pioneer farmer in order to better reflect the frontier days of North Dakota. Roosevelt believes that “no man should ever have a statue until he has been dead some little time.”
