THEODORE ROOSEVELT (1858-1919) President. Original Autograph Manuscript Signed, 3 full pages, 4to, in pencil. A magazine article written in 1918, entitled "An Australian Galahad", honoring Captain Hugh Knyvett, with several corrections in Roosevelt's hand. Published in "The Outlook" magazine in that same year. Excellent World War I content. In part, "...The Galahads who seek the grail today when they find it most often fill it with their hearts blood. Captain Hugh Knyvett had just finished writing his book, Over There with the Australians, (Scribners) and it was on the eve of publication, when death smote him. The wounds, the terrible hardships, the sheer exhaustion of his long campaigns, finally told on him; he had gained high honor in the great war for right...No man would ever look on his face and not see that he combined as few men do the daring and the iron courage of the born fighter with a singularly gentle and lofty idealism. He was of fighting blood...sent across the vast oceans when Britain entered the lists to fight for the rights of the free people of mankind...He possessed all the Covenanter's or Puritan's sense of right and duty...He was utterly intolerant of what he regarded as lowness or baseness of motive; he fiercely denounced the doctrine of 'my country right or wrong;' in his mind patriotism was dwarfed by humanity; to him this war was one between the powers of light and the powers of darkness, and the man who fought for darkness...belonged to the foul creatures of the pit, and deserved to be trodden under foot. Most men who profess this doctrine cannot live up to its highest level, and at any lower level it produces the ineffective spawn of pacifism and [wishy] washy internationalism...He had absolutely nothing in common with either the sinister...mischievous weaklings, who clamor for peace without victory, who prattle about being 'forgiving' to Germany, who speak against 'punishing' her, and who smirkingly announce that they wish to hold the scales even between Germany, the brutal wrong doer, and poor bleeding Belgium...a tract for all Americans who are not already heart and soul against Germany...and resolutely bent on fighting this war through, at whatever cost, until it is crowned by the peace of complete and overwhelming victory..." The 3 pages were handsomely tipped into a presentation folder, and presented to Emily V Hammond. Presentation page reads in part, "To the president of the Woman's Roosevelt Memorial Association, gracious and effective leader of a movement which has borne fruit in a House that is not only a noble historical shrine but a place of instruction for American youth in the principles of life and government which Theodore Roosevelt upheld...to Emily V Hammond, this manuscript of Theodore Roosevelt, is presented...by the Trustees, of the Roosevelt Memorial Association. October 27, 1942." A handsome page, highlighted in color, and signed by several officials, including JAMES R GARFIELD (1865-1950), the son of assassinated President James A Garfield, who served as Secretary of the Interior (1907-09) under Theodore Roosevelt. Manuscript and presentation folder are in very nice condition. $7,500-10,000
