About the Author
Kermit Roosevelt (1889-1943) was born at Oyster Bay and committed suicide in Alaska while on active duty at Fort Richardson. His father, Theodore Roosevelt, took him on his post-presidential adventure travels to Africa and South America and ascribed his son with saving his life. After traveling to China with his brother, Theodore Jr., the two co-wrote Trailing the Great Panda, and after his youngest brother died in World War One, Kermit published Quentin Roosevelt: A Sketch with Letters.
