[Jim]

This was a very enjoyable book written in 1921 by the younger sister of Theodore Roosevelt. Her writing intentionally does not get too deep on policy or TR’s handling of the issues of the day. Her book is mainly about TR the man and her brother. Read this book to gain a deeper understanding of why Theodore Roosevelt was different and had a delightful way of interacting with people. Near the end there is quite a discussion of TR’s America First initiative. Seems like I have heard of that before most recently. Maybe one day historians will write about the similarities between TR and DT. JIM
