Corinne Roosevelt Robinson - Theodore Roosevelt's Sister - In Maine - My Brother Theodore Roosevelt

Cover of the first edition of My Brother Theodore Roosevelt by his sister

Corinne Roosevelt Robinson. Published in September 1921. PWM Coll.

A year before the book was released, Corinne was in Portland, Maine, as one of the speakers at a major Republican convention. I picked the newspaper clippings of her talking a little bit about Maine, one of her experiences, and her brother Theodore's appreciation for the State. Then, in 1922, she worked with the Portland Press Herald newspaper to promote her book about her brother, and released a once-a-week series of 12 articles. Each of the 12 articles is in this post.

Each full page with the twelve articles is listed below. Each article's photos and columns were digitally separated and added in the order below the full-page image. Click on the photo or the article column to enlarge for viewing.

William Sewall was the uncle of Wilmot S. Dow. Wilmot's mother, Pauline, was an older sister of William Sewall. Just as William Sewall might be mentioned in newspaper clippings as Bill or Will or Willy, etc., Wilmot might also be as Wil or Will. He was not a William.  Click here to view a post that includes family background on the Dows. Click here to view a post with newspaper articles featuring TR's relationship with Sewall and Dow.

The images of family members include Corinne's and Theodore's father, Theodore Roosevelt, Sr.

For some unknown reason to me, as young Theodore became a father in the years ahead, his first son was also named Theodore. He became mostly known in public media as Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. He was Theodore Roosevelt III.

This is one of the first edition hardcover books released in September 1921 by Corinne Roosevelt Robinson. One interesting thing about this book is the newspaper clippings glued to some of the pages.
