The publication of Red Badge made Crane an instant celebrity. As a journalist, editors "'who would not have wiped their old shoes on him before then' suddenly wanted to meet him" (Sorrentino 149). In the year of the book's publication, long before he became the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt was the New York City Police Commissioner. In this role he would meet Stephen Crane, whose book he enjoyed so much that he would send the author a congratulatory letter and later ask him to sign a copy of the book. Roosevelt was a famously voracious reader and bibliophile who kept multiple libraries. As police commissioner, Roosevelt met with Crane a few times, once for an interview and another time for dinner along with Jacob Riis. Red Badge was one of Roosevelt's favorites until a local trial on police brutality put him at odds with Crane. When Crane wrote a dispatch criticizing the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War, he sou💝nded the de𝓰ath knell of their short friendship. A terrific association copy between two Gilded Age men who changed American letters and history.
