Various scenes and personages in Roosevelt's life depicted throughout; i.e. a bear hunt, dedication of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, cowboy breakfast, Panama Canal, etc.Unusual, crudely executed volume, obviously produced by an ardent admirer of TR who felt the need to contribute something to the campaign.
