About The Book
Darling Ethel: Of course you remember the story of the little prairie girl. I always associate it with you. Well, again and again on this trip we would pass through prairie villages-bleak and lonely-with all the people in from miles about to see me. Among them were dozens of young girls, often pretty, and as far as I could see much more happy than the heroine of the story. One of them shook hands with me, and then, after much whispering, said: “We want to shake hands with the guard ” The “guard” proved to be Roly, who was very swell in his uniform, and whom they evidently thought much more attractive than the President…-from “Prairie Girls”
Remembered today for his expansive personality and grand sense of adventure, Theodore Roosevelt — politician and soldier, naturalist and historian — was also a devoted, doting father and husband. This beautiful selection of the letters he wrote to his children over the courses of their lives, as well as a few written to other correspondents about the children, reveal a man deeply in love with his family and with the joys of fatherhood. The tales of Christmases at the White House and whistle-stop tours through the American countryside offer a cozy glimpse into one of the greatest American presidencies… and Roosevelt’s tenderness with his sons and daughters — as he treats them as friends, confidantes, and equals — creates a warm and intimate portrait of one of the great American characters.
