Description

"A splendid piece of work." - Edmund Morris In a unique project, author Daniel Ruddy has carefully extracted Teddy Roosevelt's most relevant and telling comments-from letters, books, speeches, and other sources-and organized them to form a fairly full, always colorful, and highly opinionated history of the United States up to 1919 (the year TR died). With a preface by Theodore Rex author Edmund Morris.

Reviews

I have nothing but admiration for a young historian's ingenuity in putting together what is, in a sense, a Rooseveltian apologia pro vita sua, with not one word of other argument interpolated...A splendid piece of work. -- Edmund Morris This is a book that everyone even faintly interested in American history will read with amazement and delight. It is nothing less than an historical experience, a journey into our past in the company of a unique and often startling time-traveller. -- Thomas Fleming, author of THE INTIMATE LIVES OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS "Daniel Ruddy's Theodore Roosevelt's History of the United States is a marvelous omnibus showcasing our twenty-sixth president's flashy wit, statesman-like grace, and original thinking. A real gift to the world." -- Douglas Brinkley, author of "The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt's and the Crusade for America"
