Signed book: Message of the Governor of the State of New York, 1900. Bound in soft Moroccan leather, 8.25 x 10.25, 53 pages. Nicely signed on the final page in black ink, “T. Roosevelt.” In fine condition, with chipping to corners and edges of the leather cover. Among the items covered in Governor Roosevelt’s message are “Canals,” “Trusts,” “Labor,” “National Guard and Naval Militia,” “Fisheries, Forest and Game Commission,” “State Commission on Prisons,” and “State Commission on Lunacy.” He also promoted participation in the upcoming Pan-American Exposition, the World’s Fair to be held in Buffalo the following year. Coincidentally, this was where President William McKinley was shot and fatally wounded on September 6, 1901, elevating his vice president, Theodore Roosevelt, into the nation’s highest office.
