Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edward S. Curtis
President Roosevelt has read what Edward S. Curtis sent, and has never heard that three Crow scouts were with George A. Custer. Roosevelt notes that Curtis seems inclined to believe an unflattering theory about Custer’s actions, and cautions him that in writing about an event thirty years after it happened, memories can be faulty. He notes that it is not his or Curtis’s affair if irresponsible men publish the things he wrote about.
