Early 20th C. Photo Album, Teddy Roosevelt, Yosemite Or Yellowstone, John Muir Or Possibly John Burroughs -

7" x 10" photo album featuring Teddy Roosevelt and what looks to be Yosemite or Yellowstone. It is in good condition, 9 leaves/18 pages, black paper, 1 leaf detached.

13 photos, plus two tucked in. The introductory image is of a man in a tent with two ladies - this is likely either Muir or Burroughs, because the fellow in the second image is most definitely Theodore Roosevelt, in white cowboy hat and waistcoat with chain, standing with other well-dressed fellows next to a steam train.

Both Muir and Burroughs were known to have explored nature with Roosevelt, and published their accounts of the matter; the image of the older man is a bit blurry, though, and since both wore long white beards in later life, it is hard to definitively state who is pictured here. At any rate, the image is duplicated in one of the tucked-in photos. Roosevelt did not live long enough to reach later life; the image of him seems to be from the era of his presidency or just afterwards.
