[Charles Agvent]

ROOSEVELT, Theodore (Teddy ROOSEVELT). THE ROUGH RIDERS. New York: 
Charles Scribner's Sons, 1899. First Edition. Olive cloth with gilt 
lettering and medal in gilt on front cover, housed in a cloth chemise 
and gilt-lettered green morocco-backed slipcase. Illustrated with 
photographs. Roosevelt's classic account of his experience as Colonel of 
the First U. S. Volunteer Cavalry, the "Rough Riders," during the 
Spanish American War including his heroic charge of San Juan Hill, 
ultimately catapulting him to the Governorship of New York, the Vice 
Presidency, and the White House. This copy is SIGNED by the author at 
the top of the front free endpaper with no date or inscription. 
Roosevelt's most sought-after book, very difficult to find signed, 
especially in the first edition. Partly obliterated blindstamp to title 
page and final leaf of text resulting in small holes; paper split to 
front hinge but covers tight. Light soiling to rear cover. Very Good in 
a Near Fine slipcase. (#021513)        $9,500
