"There's a famous photograph of a smiling Theodore Roosevelt riding a moose through a river. However, the photograph is an example of early photo editing-long before Photoshop! Many of the stories surrounding the life of Roosevelt are larger than life, and some of them are actually true. Inside this book, readers will discover the amazing stories-both true and untrue-attached to America's 26th president, from his role in the "Rough Riders" during the Spanish-America War to his contributions to conservation efforts in the United States. This book is filled with primary sources to help readers make a connection with the text and with history. It also includes a timeline and a glossary of potentially difficult terms"--.

"[An] account of Theodore Roosevelt's impassioned crusade for military preparedness as America fitfully stumbles into World War I, spectacularly punctuated by his unique tongue-lashings of the vacillating Woodrow Wilson, his rousing advocacy of a masculine, pro-Allied "Americanism," a death-defying compulsion for personal front-line combat, a tentative rapprochement with GOP power brokers--and perhaps even another presidential campaign"--.

Introduces Theodore Roosevelt, the twenty-sixth president of the United States, covering his early years, his rise to the presidency, his policies, his critics, and more.

"When President Theodore Roosevelt welcomed the country's most visible Black man, Booker T. Washington, into his circle of counselors in 1901, the two confronted a shocking and violent wave of racist outrage. In the previous decade, Jim Crow laws had legalized discrimination in the South, eroding social and economic gains for former slaves. Lynching was on the rise, and Black Americans faced new barriers to voting. Slavery had been abolished, but if newly freed citizens were condemned to lives as sharecroppers, how much improvement would their lives really see? [This book] tells the story of how two wildly different Americans faced the challenge of keeping America moving toward the promise of the Emancipation Proclamation"--Provided by publisher.

"Abraham Lincoln. Theodore Roosevelt. Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Lyndon B. Johnson. They grew up and lived in very different worlds-Lincoln was poor and uneducated, his frontier cabin home deep in the harsh wilderness; Theodore Roosevelt hailed from an elegant home in the heart of New York City and traveled the world with his family; Franklin Roosevelt loved the outdoors surrounding his family's rural estate where he was the center of attention; and Lyndon Johnson's modest childhood home had no electricity or running water but provided a window into Texas politics. So how did each of them do it-rise to become President of the United States? What did these four kids have individually-and have in common-that made them the ones to lead the country through some of its most turbulent times?"--.
