New York: George H. Doran Company, (1916). First Edition. Hardcover. Spine and covers lightly soiled, more so to the spine which is faded. Some pencil notations in text, including the pages Roosevelt points out; an old bookseller's description tipped-in to the front pastedown. Otherwise unmarked, tight, and square. Very Good. Second state binding of tan cloth with black lettering. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "Inscribed for/Roger S. Lewis/with the best wishes/of/Theodore Roosevelt/Thanksgiving Day 1917/pp 103-109."
