1858-1919

The complete diaries of Theodore Roosevelt from 1877 to 1886. They cover the formative years of his life and show the transformation of a sickly and solitary Harvard freshman into a confident and increasingly robust young adult. The entries cover the premature death of his father, his courtship and marriage to his first wife, the death of his first wife and his mother on the same day, his burgeoning political career in New York City and his election to the New York State Assembly. His descriptions of balls, dinner parties, and nights at the opera offer a glimpse into life among the Gilded Age elite in Boston and New York.
