"Restless as the sea his forefathers sailed to reach the new world; active as the soil that answered to the tickling of their hoes with bursts of golden laughter; fearless as the native chiefs who fought European encroachment on their domains with a savage valor worthy of the ancient Greeks; patient as the mothers who reared children in a wilderness where danger and death lurked on every hand, and with a soul as broadly sympathetic as the missionaries who led the way for the pioneer into the new world, Theodore Roosevelt, the twenty-sixth President of the United States, stands to-day the embodiment of Americanism."
Nope, I can't endure a whole 413 pages of that. The forward by General Joseph Wheeler was fine reading, the poem at the front was bearable. The rest of the book must have been written by a publicity agent, or someone who wanted to by one. I like what I know of Theodore Roosevelt, but this book's style was unreadable for me. ( )
