Pair of antique early 20th-century volumes chronicling the life and exploits of Theodore Roosevelt. The first, titled "The Life of Theodore Roosevelt" by Wm. Draper Lewis, Ph.D., includes an introduction by former President William H. Taft and was published by The United Publishers of the United States and Canada, 1919. Illustrated with photographs and plates throughout, bound in dark green cloth with gilt lettering and a photographic portrait of Roosevelt mounted to the front cover. Binding wear and light fraying to spine ends; overall structurally sound.

The second volume, titled "Roosevelt’s Thrilling Experiences in the Wilds of Africa: Hunting Big Game," is in craft-grade condition with severe wear to covers, surface abrasions, loss to illustration panel, and weakened binding.
