Wynn highlights two Miserendino bronze sculptures of Roosevelt placed in Mount Vernon, New York, and Boone, Iowa. Wynn provides a biography of Miserendino and notes his body of work, but he focuses on the five different sculptures he created with Roosevelt as his subject. Wynn notes the location and status of Miserendino’s Roosevelt sculptures.
