N.p. George Pierson Troyer, 1905. Hardcover. Square octavo; pp. xxiii, (i), (16), 17-315; Illustrated, color frontispiece and many black and white plates; decorated, pictorial red cloth, gilt with an American Flag motif and an oval photographic inset of TR at center of board, marbled edges, patterned end papers; A bright copy. Among the many categories of books dealing with Theodore Roosevelt is the "Popular Biography" or "Popular Event" genre. These were books that were published to capitalize on an event, like an election or TR's African Trip, or to memorialize him after his death. They tend to be a bit garish in their appearance, often printed on pulpy paper with illustrations gathered from other publications and inserted. The ones that are election oriented appear as entries in William Miles' "The Image Makers", the definitive bibliography on the Campaign Biography. That is a collecting area unto itself. These books when found in good condition are treasures. They are also great fun!. Very good .
