3944. Crowded Hours: Reminiscences of Alice Roosevelt Longworth (read 14 Oct 2004) This book was published in 1933 and is the work of Teddy Roosevelt's oldest child. I found it thoroughly enjoyable reading even though I cannot admire Alice and often disagreed with what she had to say. She lived and breathed politics, and it is fun to read her acidic comments. Some things she does not mention--her father's and her husband's deaths, e.g., nor her daughter. And of course she says nothing about her affairs. For these one must read a book like Alice Roosevelt Longworth, by Carol Felsenthal (which I did read 1 Oct 1992)--who suggests the father of her daughter was Senator Borah, and that Alice wanted to name her daughter Deborah, but her husband vetoed the name. She always lived extravagantly and likes to tell about her gadding about. All in all, I found this book a fascinating look at what she chose to discuss. ( )
