SIGNED, inscribed, and dated in the year of publication. The inscription reads: "For Steve & Rosemary Benet with the compliments of Theodore Roosevelt, with friendship and admiration of Oliver LaFarge, October, 1933." Steve (Stephen Vincent) Benet received the Pulitzer Prize for his 1928 publication "John Brown's Body," A year later La Farge won the Pulitzer for "Laughing Boy." The Theodore Roosevelt of the inscription is Theodore, Jr., son of the late President. The La Farge and Roosevelt families were social friends when Oliver was a boy; he and Theodore, Jr.'s brother Kermit both attended the prestigious Groton School at approximately the same time. By 1933, Theodore, Jr. had left public service and was on the board of Doubleday Publishing. On June 6, 1944, he was the first American general officer to land on the beach in Normandy. After surviving the initial invasion, he died of a heart attack six weeks later. For his actions on D-Day he was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously. An uncommon signature and a remarkable association. ;
