First editions of the first three books in President Theodore Rooseveltâs monumental work. Octavo, three volumes of four bound in half cloth with gilt titles to the spines, top edges gilt. Presentation copy, inscribed by Roosevelt on the front free endpaper of volume I, "James Carleton Young Esq with regards of the author, Theodore Roosevelt." The recipient, James Carleton Young was a book collector known as the "King of Books" for his collection of tens of thousands of books, many of which were signed. In his later years, the volume and complexity of his collection required a full-time staff to catalogue and manage. Until his later years he would personally maintain an ambitious correspondence, sending on average over a dozen letters per day with copies of monographs to their authors requesting autographs. Despite having amassed a sizable fortune as a real estate mogul, the expenses incurred by his bibliomania eventually forced him to have his collection auctioned off by Anderson Galleries in New York. In near fine condition. "The Winning of the West remains one of the greatest works of western history. . . . [It] reflects the character of its author. It is sometimes quirky and full of prejudices and blind spots, but it is cultivated and sweeping in its learning and encompassing in its judgments" (John Milton Cooper Jr).

Set #120 of only 200 thus issued. G.P. Putnam s Sons, New York, 1900. Four hefty volumes. Brown leather spines with gilt lettering. Extremely fine condition throughout. Illustrated with numerous plates and five folding maps. Tipped to front free end paper is the following Autograph Manuscript page, all in Roosevelt s hand. It is an excerpt from the fourth volume of Roosevelt s Winning of the West. He writes: of capacity as a general was so largely accountable. Washington and his administration were not free from blame. It was foolish to attempt a campaign against the Northwestern Indians with men who had only been trained for six months, and who were enlisted at the absurd price of two dollars a month. Moreover, there were needless delays in forwarding the troops to Fort Washington; and the commissary department was badly managed. Washington was not directly responsible for any of these shortcomings; he very wisely left to the Secretary of War, Knox, the immediate control of the whole matter, seeking . Tobias Lear, Washington s Private Secretary as quoted by both Custis and Rush. The report of an eyewitness. See also Lodge s Washington, p. 94. Denny, in his journal, merely mentions that he went at once to the Secretary of War s office on the evening of the 19th, and does not speak of seeing Washington until the following morning. On the strength of this omission one or two of St. Clair s apologists have striven to represent the whole account of Washington s wrath as apocryphal; but the attempt is puerile; the relation comes from an eyewitness who had no possible motive to distort the facts. The Secretary of War, Knox, was certain to inform Washington of the disaster the very evening he heard of it; and whether he sent Denny, or another messenger, or went himself is unimportant. Lear might very well have been mistaken as to the messenger who brought the news; but he could not have been mistaken about Washington s speech . By the time the final volume of Theodore Roosevelt s The Winning of the West appeared in 1896 its author was widely recognized as a serious historian and a major national intellectual. For his history of the early frontier, Roosevelt drew upon the frontier thesis proposed by Frederick Jackson Turner at the Chicago World s Fair in 1893, and retraced the ascendance of the American nation as the nation expanded ever westward. During the course of his research, Roosevelt came to see that stories of Native Americans abducting Anglo-American settlers occupied an important place in America s early national literature. Roosevelt drew upon such abductions and their aftermath in a number of instances, as in Mad Anthony Wayne: and the Fight at the Fallen Timbers, the second chapter of volume 4 of The Winning of the West, where Roosevelt relates the story of the Miller brothers, William and Christopher. While still young, the two boys were taken captive near their Kentucky home by the Shawnee. Raised as members of their abductors tribe, the two brothers parted ways when they reached maturity. At about 24 years of age, William, who had long wished to return to white society, did so; Christopher, who had grown to love his adoptive family, remained behind. The two separated, and William imagined he would never see his brother again. In June of 1794, William Miller was serving as a scout under the command of General Mad Anthony Wayne when he was ordered to capture a Native warrior for interrogation. Accompanied by two other scouts, Miller came upon three Native Americans preparing a mean. The soldiers worked their way towards their prospective captive under the cover of heavy bush, and once within range fired upon two of the Natives. Both were killed. The third ran, leaping down a steep river bank into a muddy river. The scouts continued their pursuit, and the Native American, aware. Signed by Author(s).
