This volume of letters from Theodore Roosevelt to his older sister, Mrs. Cowles, is most intimate and informing. The letters cover a period of fifty years, ending with a short note written only a few days before his death. The boy and the man had the greatest admiration and affection for his older sister, and he wrote to her with extreme frankness. When he came to occupy great positions, he would write to her of significant things with the confidence and freedom from restraint of a family council. The accounts of his boxing lessons, of his rowboat rides when he was in society (ahem!), of how he was ousted as Sunday-school teacher, of his presents for the Ranch children, are no less interesting than his attempt to escape being sidetracked as Vice President. In these letters is shown that zest for the daily happening that made his Letters to His Children so wonderful. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing. |
