Description
ROOSEVELT, THEODORE. (1858-1919). Twenty-sixth president of the United States. WHCS. (“Theodore Roosevelt”). 1p. Oblong 16mo. Washington, (September 23, 1908). A signed White House card with the address panel of a White House envelope addressed to Kendall P. Frost of Los Angeles.
Roosevelt was a larger-than-life figure simultaneously representing reform, conservation and the American spirit. He overcame health problems in his youth to serve in New York politics, and famously led his Rough Rider regiment in the Spanish-American War. After accelerating through the offices of governor, assistant secretary of the navy and vice president, he became, in 1901, the youngest man ever to serve as president of the United States. During his two terms, he opposed big labor while expanding the power of the presidency, developing consumer protection laws, creating national forests and winning the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to resolve the Russo-Japanese War.
Near fine; both the card and the envelope flap have been mounted to a larger sheet of black paper.
