Postcard showing a mountain with three horse riders in the foreground. Charles C. Myers notes that this is in the Andes Mountains.
In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “Here is a view of the mountains along the straits at closer range and also at considerable height and it is here near the top of the mountains where there is perpetual snow and from here start the great rivers of ice thar (sic) are continually flowing down the mountain side. On March 6, we steamed out of the narrow straits and out into the Pacific Ocean. At this place the sea is always very rough and many persons experience a day or two of sea-sickness that they do not care to repeat. Going now toward the equator the weather is gradually getting warmer and on March 8th we laid away our overcoats but still wore our heavy clothing while visiting Chile although it was a little warm for it but hardly warm enough to appear in our thin summer clothing.”

Excerpts from the diaries of First Lady Edith Kermit Roosevelt edited by A. Richard Boera. The excerpts are taken from eight different years and most of the entries are short. Some of the most common topics include the various health issues of the Roosevelt family, lists of guests for lunch and dinner at the White House, and the riding excursions of Edith and Theodore Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt’s assuming the presidency after President William McKinley’s assassination, the final days of Roosevelt’s presidency, and the tour of Europe after Roosevelt’s African safari in 1910 are also covered.
A photograph of Edith Roosevelt in 1901, a drawing of her by John Singer Sargent in 1921, and a family portrait of Edith and Theodore Roosevelt with all of their children at Sagamore Hill in 1903 supplement the text. A listing of the officers of the Theodore Roosevelt Association along with the members of its executive committee appears on the second page of the excerpts.
Theodore Roosevelt attends a gathering of Rough Riders in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is driven down the street at the front of a motorcade. He speaks to a small group while sitting in front of a building. Elsewhere, Roosevelt addresses a large crowd from a decorated stage, after which a group of cowgirls rides through the crowd on horseback to present him with a bouquet of flowers.
