Theodore Roosevelt Pilgrimage Photo Needed

[Miki101 14]

Hi all,

 

I am finishing a program book on Theodore Roosevelt and the Boy Scouts of America and am in need of a specific style of photo from any TR Pilgramage led by Dan Beard in the 1920's or 1930's. I need something like Beard with a Scout or two, and holding a wreath in front of TR's grave.

 

I would appreciate any assistance from any of you Scouting museum curator types, who may have some archival images. Of course, a proper citation will be included with any image used in the book.

 

Unfortunately, I am very close to sending it to layout for a March press run, so please let me know ASAP.

 

Thanks in Advance,

David C. Scott

I just did a search of NARA and LOC with no results.

As a Scout growing up in Oyster Bay,in the 50's, I remember that every Memorial Day we made a pilgrimage to TR's grave and placed a wreath. I would contact the Theodore Roosevelt council,BSA,in New York, they could probably help you. Or contact the Theodore Roosevelt association in Oyster Bay, NY. I know there are pictures because I have seen some. My father was part of those pilgrimages in the 20's and 30's.
