Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Quentin Roosevelt

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Quentin Roosevelt

President Roosevelt describes the pets aboard the U. S. S. Louisiana, including two dogs, a cat, three raccoons, and a “tiny Cuban goat.” One of the raccoons sniffed Roosevelt’s fingers, making him afraid of becoming something for the racoon to eat. The crew is very fond of the animals but is not allowed off the boat at landing, otherwise they would bring even more pets aboard. A few days later, Roosevelt recounts their passing by San Salvador, where Christopher Columbus first landed in the Americas.
