Written for boys while Roosevelt was still in office, this biography follows him from a sickly New York childhood through Harvard, the Dakota ranch, the New York police board and the Navy Department. The longest stretch covers the Rough Riders in Cuba, complete with casualty figures from the fighting around Santiago, before the story turns to the governorship and the presidency.
An admiring period portrait from the creator of the Rover Boys, showing how Roosevelt was presented to the young of his day. Download the free EPUB.
