In A Book-Lover's Holidays in the Open, Theodore Roosevelt combines travel narrative, natural history, memoir, and strenuous outdoor philosophy. Drawing on experiences in the American West, the African wilderness, and the landscapes of national conservation, he writes of hunting, wildlife, books, public character, and the moral value of direct engagement with nature. His prose is energetic, anecdotal, and confidently argumentative, marked by vivid observation and the vigorous rhetoric of the Progressive Era. The book belongs to the tradition of nineteenth-century sporting literature while also anticipating modern environmental writing: its celebration of wilderness is inseparable from an emerging argument for responsible stewardship and civic education. Roosevelt's authorship was shaped by an unusually active life as rancher, soldier, explorer, naturalist, reform politician, and president. His experiences at the Dakota ranch, his African expedition, and his advocacy of national parks and scientific conservation supplied both the material and the convictions of the volume. He writes not as a detached observer but as a participant who believes that disciplined contact with difficulty cultivates courage, knowledge, and democratic citizenship. The book's title likewise signals his synthesis of literary reflection and practical adventure. Readers interested in American cultural history, conservation, imperial-era travel writing, or the development of nature literature will find this volume especially rewarding. Its historical assumptions sometimes invite critical scrutiny, yet its intellectual vitality and firsthand authority remain compelling. It offers an illuminating portrait of Roosevelt's ideals while preserving the exhilaration of the open world he sought to understand and defend.

The firsthand account of the life of adventurer, scholar, war hero, and twenty-sixth president of the United States Theodore Roosevelt. There must be the keenest sense of duty, and with it must go the joy of living. Here, in his own words, Theodore Roosevelt recounts his remarkable journey from a childhood plagued with illnesses to the US presidency and beyond. With candor and vivid detail, this personal account describes a life guided by a restless intelligence, a love for adventure, and an unflagging duty to his country. Roosevelt sheds light on his wide array of roles, from New York police commissioner, where he waged a battle against corruption, to cattle rancher in the Dakotas to assistant secretary of the US Navy under William McKinley to leader of the legendary Rough Riders at the outbreak of the Spanish–American War, when he led the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry to victory in the Battle of San Juan Hill. These extraordinary accomplishments earned Roosevelt national fame and set the stage for his ascent to the White House. As twenty-sixth president of the United States, he ushered in the Progressive Era with his domestic policies, such as the Square Deal, and trust-busting of monopolies, such as Standard Oil. He was a war hero, scholar, statesman, adventurer, and Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States, a historian, author, naturalist and explorer. He wrote 35 books including works on outdoor life, natural history, U.S. Western and political history, an autobiography and other topics. Based in part on his own writings An Autobiography of Theodore Roosevelt is the true story about one of America's most colorful leaders. From president of the board of New York City Police Commissioners, secretary of the Navy, founder of the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War, his time as the governor of New York, to vice president and eventually, after the assignation of President McKinley, becoming the twenty-sixth president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt's role in the shaping of the United States is still felt today.

Upon the 1898 Declaration of War launching the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt resigned from the Navy Department. With the aid of U.S. Army Colonel Leonard Wood, Roosevelt found volunteers from cowboys from the Western territories to Ivy League friends from New York, forming the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment. The newspapers called them the "Rough Riders." This is the first person account by the regiment's commander and future President of the United States, Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. An exciting and valuable addition to the collection of any serious reader of historical war books.

Before he ascended to the highest office in the land as the United States youngest president, Theodore Roosevelt, with illustrations by Frederic Remington, though a New York City man born and bred, was a devotee of the Old West. In 1888, he published this charming ode to the American frontier, from the rewarding hard work of a rancher on the open plains to the pleasures of hunting the big game of mountains high. Today, the inimitable prose and infectious enthusiasm of Roosevelt 's writing here serves as much to limn a unique aspect of the character of the nation as it sings an elegy for a disappearing way of life.
