Includes a manuscript leaf in Roosevelt's hand from Volume IV, page 13, regarding the Secretary of War Henry Knox's failure to understand the Indian situation in the Western United States. The original manuscript leaf about the beliefs of Secretary of War Henry Know reads as follows: [He probably represented, not unfairly, the ordinary Eastern view of the matter. He had not the slightest idea of the rate at which the settlements were increasing, though he expected that tracts of Indian] "territory would from time to time be acquired. He made no allowance for a growth so rapid that within the half-century six or eight populous States were to stand within the Indian-owned wilderness of his day. He utterly failed to grasp the central features of the situation, which were that the settlers needed the land, and were bound to have it, within a few years; and that the Indians would not give it up, under no matter what treaty, without an appeal to arms. / In the South the United States Commissioners, in endeavoring to conclude treaties with the Creeks and Cherokees, had been continually hampered by the attitude of [Georgia and the Franklin frontiersmen.] This work was issued in full levant for $100 and half levant for $60. The full levant sold quickly, and the price was raised to $200 per set.
