Letter from Emil Gribeschock to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Emil Gribeschock to Theodore Roosevelt

Emil Gribeschock, in spite of not being appointed consul general to Addis Ababa during Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency, continues to work for the good of the United States. In his recent travels through the United States, Gribeschock has discovered that the tariff is negatively impacting wool producers, and predicts that the tariff will be the cause of a Republican loss in the 1911 elections. He urges, however, that there is time to revise the tariff for the 1912 election, and sends a copy of his report to Roosevelt for transmission to the Tariff Board. He hopes that he will be able to receive recognition for his work this time, as his previous efforts went unrecognized.

The Romantic Story of the W Ranch and Pierre Wibaux

The Romantic Story of the W Ranch and Pierre Wibaux

The Montana Homeseeker provides a narrative history of Pierre Wiebaux–a contemporary of Theodore Roosevelt and the Marquis de Mores–and the W Ranch–located on the border between Montana and North Dakota. While Wibaux made a fortune on cattle, the ranch is now a prime investment location for sheep herders and those in the wool trade, and a company is being organized for investors who would like to get into the business. Maps, photographs, and figures accompany the advertising material, illustrating the area and aspects of the sheep industry.
