Gregory A. Wynn chronicles his nearly thirty year friendship with fellow Theodore Roosevelt collector Peter Scanlan. Wynn charts the relationship from its beginning in 1984 to Scanlan’s death in 2012, and he focuses on their shared enthusiasm for collecting items, especially books, related to Roosevelt’s life. Wynn notes their travels together to bookshops, antique shows, and auctions in search of more goods for their collections. Wynn notes that he and Scanlan helped grow each other’s collections, and he asserts that Scanlan’s Roosevelt collection may have been the preeminent private collection in the United States. 

 

Five photographs, including two of Wynn and Scanlan together, accompany the text along with an image of a poster that both men competed for at an auction.
