Booklet "Address of President Roosevelt at the Unveiling of the Sherman Statue, Washington, October 15, 1903." 21pp. octavo, very good condition. In essence this is a printed press release as evidenced by the caution, "TO BE HELD IN CONFIDENCE and no portion ... given out until its delivery had begun by President Roosevelt on October 15, 1903 ...." General William Tecumseh Sherman Monument is an equestrian statue of American Civil War Major General William Tecumseh Sherman located in Sherman Plaza, which is part of President's Park in Washington, D.C., in the United States. The selection of an artist in 1896 to design the monument was highly controversial. During the monument's design phase, artist Carl Rohl-Smith died, and his memorial was finished by a number of other sculptors. The Sherman statue was unveiled in 1903.
