"There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering."
The 26th President of the United States of America had quite the reputation. Born with asthma and a sickly child in his youth, Theodore Roosevelt epitomizes the American dream by overcoming his ailments and seeking the fullest life he could lead. As an adult, Roosevelt was an avid naturalist, well-read author, brave soldier, and a plucky explorer even in old age. Affable yet gruff and wise, he led the country into the progressive era and championed public policy causes for the lower and middle classes.
Many feathers lie in Teddy Roosevelt’s cap. At the time, he was the youngest United States president. He won the Nobel Peace Prize at the close of the Russo-Japanese War. Despite the fact that his campaign ran on the slogan "Speak softly and carry a big stick," Roosevelt was opinionated and dedicated to seeing his ideas evolve into actions. Our national parks owe thanks to Roosevelt, who was an advocate for the outdoors. It seems fitting that his face is always looking out across the horizon in Mount Rushmore with national heroes and US Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln. The Panama Canal and our modern American navy owe their thanks to Roosevelt as well.
With a deep well of biographical experience to draw on, these strenuous epigraphs offer some of the most striking truths, pieces of wisdom, quips, and quotes from the big game hunter, war hero, trust buster himself- Theodore Roosevelt.
In the series Classic Thoughts and Thinkers, explore some of the most influential texts of our time along with the inner workings of its greatest thinkers. With works from great American figures such as Theodore Roosevelt and Emily Dickinson and seminal documents including the Constitution of the Unites States, this series focuses on the most reflective and thought-provoking writings of the last two centuries. These beautiful hardcovers are the perfect historical perspective for meeting the challenges of the modern world.
Other titles in this series include: As a Man Thinketh, Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Collected Poems of Robert Frost, Common Sense, Constitution of the United States with the Declaration of Independence, Helen Keller, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, and Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson,
