Letter from George Bird Grinnell to Theodore Roosevelt
George Bird Grinnell asks Theodore Roosevelt for a contribution to the Collection of American Hunting Arms that the Boone and Crockett Club is starting. Grinnell specifically asks Roosevelt if he can donate the suit of buckskin clothing that he wore when hunting in the west. Grinnell plans to donate a suit of regulation old time trapper’s clothes, an old Hudson’s Bay flint lock fuke, and an old Hawkin’s rifle among other interesting things.
