Excerpt from The Life and Meaning of Theodore Roosevelt It would be next to impossible for any one man alone to write a complete life of Theodore Roosevelt. There will be many lives of Roosevelt, as there are many of Lincoln, and among them will be, in course of time, an "authorized" life, by one of Mr. Roosevelt's close friends, to whom he turned over much personal material shortly before his death. But even this "authorized" life cannot tell the whole remarkable story. It is hoped and expected that other personal friends will write lives of Roosevelt such as only they could write. Senator Lodge, for example, and William Loeb, would bring to the work a wealth of personal reminiscences and an intimacy of narrative and interpretation quite different from that available to other biographers. On the other hand, any life written by an intimate personal friend or co-worker will necessarily contain much of personal viewpoint and feeling. It will present the observations, the impressions, the understandings and estimates gained in close contact during circumstances which reveal something less than the whole man.

Excerpt from Great-Heart: The Life Story of Theodore Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt's activities were so varied and the field he covered so wide, that no work of this kind can give more than the barest outline. Nevertheless, the book is so written as to give those who may read it a general idea of his boy hood, his youth, and many of the things he did, his high ideals, his purity of purpose, his intense patriotism, his love of the outdoor life, and his understanding not only of towns and cities, but of the wild places of the world and the people, animals, and birds who dwell in them.

Excerpt from A Bibliography of Theodore Roosevelt The following is a reasonably complete bibliography of everything between covers by or about Theodore Roosevelt published previous to May 1, 1920, including collected works, selections from his works, translations of his works into the principal foreign languages and, to some extent, books in English containing articles by or about him. Literature privately printed, or in pamphlet form, has, for the most part, not been included. The limitations of such a bibliography are obvious. No effort has been made to list Mr. Roosevelt's various State papers, Presidential messages, documents, addresses, etc., or the almost innumerable political writings bearing directly or indirectly upon him, or the movements associated with his name. Space also forbids the inclusion of many books about him, or containing articles by or about him, written in or translated into languages other than English. Finally, it has, of course, been impossible to touch the vast field of periodical literature, to which he contributed so largely throughout his life in the form of editorials, serials, and special or scientific articles. The periodical literature about Roosevelt would alone easily compose a bibliography of several hundred pages. It is hoped, however, that the following, which is to date the most comprehensive Roosevelt bibliography in print, may prove useful as far as it goes - and form the basis, perhaps, of future more ambitious compilations.

Nothing better illustrates the elasticity of American democratic life than the fact that within a span of forty years Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt were Presidents of the United States. Two men more unlike in origin, in training, and in opportunity, could hardly be found. Lincoln came from an incompetent Kentuckian father, a pioneer without the pioneer's spirit of enterprise and push; he lacked schooling; he had barely the necessaries of life measured even by the standards of the Border; his compa-nions were rough frontier wastrels, many of whom had either been, or might easily become, ruffians. The books on which he fed his young mind were very few, not more than five or six, but they were the best. And yet in spite of these handicaps, Abraham Lincoln rose to be the leader and example of the American Nation during its most perilous crisis, and the ideal Democrat of the nineteenth century.
