Rare and possibly unpublished 4.75 x 3.75 albumen photograph affixed to its original 6.25 x 5.25 mount, showing Seth Bullock escorting President Theodore Roosevelt through the center of town in the American northwest. Reverse bears an ink notation, "President Roosevelt - Captain Bullock." In fine condition, with light edge wear to the mount. When the Spanish-American War broke out in 1898, Bullock volunteered as one of Roosevelt’s Rough Riders and was named a Captain of Troop A in Grigsby's Cowboy Regiment, which did not see any combat. Bullock remained one of Roosevelt's close friends, and the president once proclaimed, 'Seth Bullock is a true westerner, the finest type of frontiersman.' A unique photograph capturing two icons of American individualism.
