Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (1858-1919), also known as T. R., and to the public (but never to friends and intimates) as Teddy, was the twenty-sixth President of the United States, and a leader of the Republican Party and of the Progressive Movement. He became the youngest President in United States history at the age of 42. He served in many roles including Governor of New York, historian, naturalist, explorer, author, and soldier. Roosevelt is most famous for his personality: his energy, his vast range of interests and achievements, his model of masculinity, and his "cowboy" persona. He was the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize, winning its Peace Prize in 1906, for negotiating the peace in the Russo-Japanese War. His The Naval War of 1812 (1882) was the standard history for two generations and his major achievement was a four-volume history of the frontier, The Winning of the West (1889-1896). His other works include Hero Tales from American History (1895), The Rough Riders (1899) and Hunting the Grisly and Other Sketches (1904).

This review is from: Letters to His Children (Kindle Edition)
The book provided an interesting view point of Roosevelt, but it is exactly what it says it is... letters to his children. The part in which he talks his sons out of the military was the part which made it worth it for me. I enjoyed it, but probably could have spent my time better else where.

This review is from: Letters to His Children (Paperback)
This book is exactly what it says. It is a collection of letters from Theodore to his children at different times from 1898-1911. Most of the letters don't hold anymore than passing interest. There are a few that reveal interesting aspects of his personality but none really show anything that you likely didn't already know. There is also little in the introduction of each letter or even an explanation of how many children he had and what their relative ages were. This really ends up being a collection of primary sources that you could likely find online for free.
