Extremely rare signed First Edition of "The Roosevelt That I Know," by Mike Donovan.  Near the end of his fistic career, Donovan became a boxing instructor at the New York Athletic Club.  Admired for his pugilistic expertise, he was notably boxing instructor to Teddy Roosevelt when the latter was in the White House.  This Limited Edition example (#499) is in VG condition but the signature is what makes this book so grand. Donovan died in 1918, making his signature very scarce and highly desired by boxing enthusiasts. The signature is 7.5/10; comes with PSA letter.
