Superb “Ex Libris Estelle Dohney” [Dohney was one of the great book collectors of the last century]. The bookplate affixed to back of front cover with minor offset toning from her bookplate ever-so lightly affecting Roosevelt’s inscription. Boldly inscribed by him on front free endpaper: “Inscribed for / James Carleton Young Esq. / with all good / wishes from / Theodore Roosevelt. / Sept. 26th, 1911.” With blue ¾ leather custom slipcase. From our experience, a very rare book to find inscribed and a must have for the TR or presidential book collector.
