Owner inscription and dedication on f.f.e.p. reads: 'Graham Hutchinson, Balgowan, from Dave A.Shaw, 23 September 1903'.

Theodore Roosevelt (October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919) was the 26th President of the United States(1901–1909). He is noted for his exuberant personality, range of interests and achievements, and his leadership of the Progressive Movement, as well as his "cowboy" persona and robust masculinity.[4] He was a leader of the Republican Party and founder of the first incarnation of the short-lived Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party of 1912. Before becoming President, he held offices at the city, state, and federal levels. Roosevelt's achievements as a naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier are as much a part of his fame as any office he held as a politician. Roosevelt was 42 years old when sworn in as President of the United States in 1901, making him the youngest president ever. [source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt]
