Book Reviews of The Selected Letters of Theodore Roosevelt
Book Review: Great Book -- Especially for the Devoted Student of TR
Summary: 5 Stars
Many excellent historians have taken on the subject of Theodore Roosevelt but, in my opinion, the first rank belongs to Edmund Morris and Professor H.W. Brands. Their knowledge of and passion for the topic of TR is unsurpassed (although their styles are quite different). Brand's "Selected Letters ..." is not really for the casually interested although they will indeed find his widely flung correspondence entertaining and informative. The more devoted student of TR, however, will really find this book interesting and useful. It offers up a more private and candid Roosevelt and, as such, provides some of the context and color behind the large and small historical events of his life.
Summary of The Selected Letters of Theodore Roosevelt
Previously available only in a long-out-of-print, eight-volume edition, Theodore Roosevelt's letters are now accessible in this single-volume compendium of the most revealing of the former president's correspondence. Featuring over 1,000 letters to such influential addressees as Jefferson Davis, Frederick Remington, John Muir, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, Rudyard Kipling, Upton Sinclair, Booker T. Washington, Jane Addams, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and a who's who of presidents?William McKinley, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt?this compilation fully illuminates the private and public personas of one of the most accomplished men in American history.In little more than six decades, Roosevelt was a rancher, historian, reformer, New York state assemblyman, New York City police commissioner, assistant secretary of the Navy, military hero, governor of New York, vice president, twenty-sixth president, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, hunter, conservationist, and Amazon explorer. To each undertaking he brought his signature passion, humor, and thoughtfulness, all fully evident in these remarkable letters.
