"Mr. Theodore Roosevelt is the latest writer who has entered this field, and his two volumes on The Winning of the West1 will find many appreciative readers. His style is natural, simple, and picturesque, without any attempt at fine writing, and he does not hesitate to use Western words which have not yet found a place in the dictionary. He has not taken the old story as he finds it printed in Western books, but has sought for new materials in manuscript collections ; and has consulted original documents in the State Department at Washington, the Canadian Archives at Ottawa, — unrivaled on this continent for materials in Western history nd many private manuscript collections ; and he has read the printed American State Papers and Archives and the Virginia State Papers. Few writers of American history have covered a wider or better field of research, or are more in sympathy with the best modern method of studying history from original sources; and yet, in reading his narrative and noting his references, we have a feeling that he might profitably have spent more time in consulting and collating the rich materials to which he had access, and thereby have enlarged his information and modified many of his opinions."
