Most people know Theodore Roosevelt as the 26 th president of the United
States whose legacy includes toy bears, rugged masculinity, and the last
vestiges of an age built on character. But how many would know that he
also carried a vial of morphine at all times in case he ever needed to take
his own life? Or that he suffered great bouts of homesickness when he was
away from his family?
Though the image of President Theodore Roosevelt is one of fringed
suede jackets and wire circles of glass framing a serious and scowling face,
the man behind this image was a spectacularly intelligent and complex
individual. 101 Things Everyone Should Know about Theodore Roosevelt explores
the nuances of his famous life, giving little-known facts that complete the
picture of Theodore Roosevelt. From his crippling childhood to his involvement
with the Rough Riders, this book celebrates the American icon
whose beliefs are still riveting almost 100 years after his death.
