The adventure of the stalwart companions - Hardcover
"Lately, manuscripts purporting to be 'lost' Watson writings have been turning up with great regularity, each of them pretending to fill in certain gaps in the literature of the sleuth of Baker Street... What I no longer leave to speculation is the question of whether Holmes walked this earth with other men. I know he did." This, from the foreword of this extraordinary book, is not the outrageous statement it once might have been now that the authenticity of Dr. Watson's biographical writings on the great detective and his work is widely accepted. But the spate of 'lost' Watsonian writings deal with the blanks in the good doctor's otherwise admirable chronology; "The Adventure of the Stalwart Companions" (as Teddy Roosevelt came to call it) tells of the remarkable collaboration between two men on the threshold of their careers - the World's First Consulting Detective, and the Twenty-Sixth President of the United States. Furthermore, it has always been held that Watson was the sole person to write of Holmes - yet here, unearthed from the old records in the basement of the New York Police Department's new Headquarters, is Roosevelt's own account of the solving of a violent and devious crime, in 19th century New York, six months before Holmes and Watson met! For Holmes scholar and Watson fan alike. here is a tale of rare adventure that casts new light on the career of the bluff, brave Roosevelt and the infinitely brilliant detective.
