Book Reviews of Rough Riders

Book Review: A fascinating portrait of history and a president
Summary: 4 Stars

Teddy Roosevelt was one of the most inspiring men in American history for a variety of reasons---and this book captures them all, from politician and military leader to writer and conservationalist.

This is a book all schoolchidren should read...so don't expect public education to do so.

Anyway, the quotes, stories and background information really open the reader's eyes to what an incredible life -- in so many areas -- this man lived. There are too few like him these days (in any area).

I would have given the book five stars, but since it was written recently, there seems to be some "updates" (or revisionism), which do not always portray America or Teddy in as positive a light as he and WE deserve. Nothing major, but still noticeable.

Summary of Rough Riders

The Rough Riders is Roosevelt's account of his adventures in the Spanish-American War, and it was a bestseller immediately when it was published in 1899. The Rough Riders were a uniquely American crew of cowboys, scholars, land speculators, American Indians, and African Americans, and this volume chronicles their triumphs and defeats with riveting and engrossing detail.
