left the rest of the expedition he himself took the 
photographs. The hundreds of photographs taken 
by Messrs. Loring and Heller, the naturalists of the 
expedition, were 
also drawn upon 
by Mr. Roosevelt 
for the illustra¬ 
tion of his book. 
In each case the 
photographer is 
designated in the 
volume. The sub¬ 
jects for the orig¬ 
inal drawings in 
this book were 
selected and di¬ 
rected by Mr. Roosevelt, while the pictures have had 
the advantage of his personal suggestion and crit¬ 
icism and final approval.
