Letter from Chester L. Brooks to Carleton Putnam
Chester L. Brooks responds to Carleton Putnam’s request for details related to Putnam’s biography of Theodore Roosevelt. Brooks is unable to confirm the exact dates of Roosevelt’s 1883 bison hunt and whether it coincided with a Sioux hunt that September. Brooks explains what he uses as the proper forms of the names of Bill Merrifield and George Meyers, based on his research. Brooks mentions that Ethel Roosevelt Derby and her family plan to visit Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park, the first of Theodore Roosevelt’s children to do so since the park was established in 1947.
