Coffee with the Curator (Colleen Yarger) Theodore Roosevelt’s Sporting Universe

Coffee and refreshments will be available in the Library lobby from 10–10:30 am. The program will be held both in-person and virtually through Facebook Live from 10:30–11:30 am.

Join us in the Library’s Forrest E. Mars, Sr. Exhibit Hall where we spotlight Theodore Roosevelt—one of the greatest sportsmen and naturalists of his day—and several of his like-minded allies, who worked together to ensure and safeguard the future of traditional field sports into the 20th century.

Assembling an array of books, manuscripts, photographs, and illustrations from the National Sporting Library & Museum’s F. Ambrose Clark Rare Book Room’s formidable holdings, this exhibit highlights the range of publications and sporting causes that Roosevelt wrote about and endorsed—penning the occasional Foreword or Introduction—as well as a selection of texts from the thinkers who inspired, or were inspired, by him.
