Connie Huddleston and Gwen Koehler will be signing copies of their new book, Mittie and Thee: An 1853 Roosevelt Romance, at an event scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17.
Transcribed and presented just as written, these love letters tell the story not only of two young lovers, but of the social mores of 1853. Mittie Bulloch, the second daughter of James and Martha Bulloch, married Theodore Roosevelt in December 1853. The two would have a son who’d go on to become the 26th president of the United States.
