DS, signed “Compliments, Theodore Roosevelt,” one page, 7.75 x 9.75, April 8, 1891. Resolution thanking President Benjamin Harrison and Secretary of the Interior John W. Noble for establishing the Yellowstone Timberland Reserve. In full: “At a meeting of the Boone and Crockett Club, held April 8, 1891, it was, on motion of Mr. W.H. Phillips, seconded by Mr. Arnold Hague.
RESOLVED: That this society most heartily thanks the President of the United States and the Honorable John W. Noble, Secretary of the Interior, for having set apart, as a forest reserve, the large tract situated in Wyoming, at the head waters of the Yellowstone and Snake rivers, and for having set apart the Sequoia Park, for the preservation of the great trees of the Pacific slope. That this Society recognizes in these actions the most important steps taken of recent years for the preservation of our forests and measures which confer the greatest benefit on the people of the adjacent states.
RESOLVED: That copies of this resolution be sent to the President of the United States and the Honorable the Secretary of the Interior. By the President of the Club: The Honorable Theodore Roosevelt.”
Scattered light creasing, wrinkling, and soiling, otherwise fine condition. Roosevelt founded the Boone and Crockett Club in 1887 to promote rifle hunting as a sport, preserve big game, and lobby for the preservation of public lands. Named after avid hunters Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, the club authored a “fair chase” statement of hunter ethics and advocated for the expansion and protection of Yellowstone National Park. Roosevelt served as the president of the organization, whose membership was restricted to one hundred men required to have shot three different large species of American wildlife. Today, the club has had a large role in the elimination of commercial market hunting and the creation of the National Park and Forest Services, National Wildlife Refuge system, and wildlife reserve.
