Learn moreTheodore Roosevelt largely is known today by stereotypes and his many accomplishments—but the full and fascinating essence of the man is fading. In this book, TR charges back!
Historian Rick Marschall has collected almost five hundred quotations, descriptions, impressions, and memories of the "Most Interesting American" derived from vintage newspapers, magazines, scrapbooks, diaries, letters, and so much more. In chapters devoted to his personality as a family man, a conservationist, an intellectual, patriot, activist, and as an American TR comes alive as never before seen.
In more than a century since his death, the personal attributes that endeared Theodore to his America have become obscured. In this book of firsthand, eyewitness accounts TR comes roaring back to us in all of his astonishing ways!
The Most Interesting American is Rick Marschall's seventy-fifth book and his third about Theodore Roosevelt. His primary field is American popular culture, and he has also written biographies, children's books, and Christian apologetics. A former political cartoonist, editor of Marvel Comics, and writer for Disney, he has taught at four universities, including the School of Visual Arts and Rutgers. He has spoken overseas on behalf of the US Information Service of the Department of State. As a Theodore Roosevelt authority, Marschall has served on the Advisory Board of the Theodore Roosevelt Association, was cartoon archivist for the Theodore Roosevelt Center at Dickinson University, and is a contributor to the weblogs Theodore Roosevelt and The Roosevelt Dynasty-Family, Fitness, and Faith.
