The Man in the Arena: Selected Writings of Theodore Roosevelt: A Reader 1-Mar-2016

by Theodore Roosevelt

( 71 )

$12.99 $31.50

The first compilation of selections from the major works of Teddy Roosevelt since the resurgence in his popularity due to the major award-winning/bestselling biographies by Edmond Morris and H. W. Brands

By the time he was twenty-five the future president of the United States was already a published author. From The Naval War of 1812 through his four-volume Winning of the West, Teddy Roosevelt proved himself a master historian...but one must not make the mistake of labeling him a stodgy academic.

The future president was also a great outdoorsman, with such works as Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail and African Game Trails capturing his rough and ready lifestyle. Theodore Roosevelt was part Francis Parkman, part Lowell Thomas, and one hundred percent spirit of America and master of the printed page.

The Man in the Arena collects self-contained excerpts from some of his greatest works, including such revealing memoirs as The Rough Riders, the Autobiography, and Through the Brazilian Wilderness, in an effort to capture the many aspects of a great American who was indeed larger than life and his own best "Boswell."

"This collection of his writings gives credence to Henry Adams's assertion that Roosevelt was "pure Act": there was, it seems, no subject (or foe) he was afraid to tackle. " - Publishers Weekly

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail 10-Mar-2019

by Theodore Roosevelt

( 440 )

$0.99 $6.78

No other president grew to know and love the West like Theodore Roosevelt.

He acknowledged the great debt that he owed to those years he spent out west when he said, "I never would have been President if it had not been for my experiences in North Dakota."

Following the disappointing 1884 presidential election Theodore Roosevelt decided to move West.

He built his ranch, named Elkhorn, just north of Medora in North Dakota.

It was here that he learned how to trap, hunt and survive in the wilderness like many of the great American adventurers who had travelled west before him.

Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail records what Roosevelt saw, heard and did through the course of the two years that Roosevelt spent in North Dakota.

The book is filled with fascinating tales such as serving for a short time as a deputy sheriff pursuing horse thieves, survive herd-killing blizzards and suffocating heat, hunting mountain goats, antelope and bighorn sheep to survive through the winter, as well as much more.

Roosevelt felt very aware that the world of the far west was changing as the country became more industrialized and so sought to record the lives of the trappers, bronco-busters, desperadoes and mule-skinners, the Indians, horse thieves and vigilantes before their world completely vanished.

“Ranch Life And The Hunting Trail is an evocative souvenir of a simpler America, written by the man who a few years later helped propel the country along the road to Empire.” Kirkus Reviews

“the author carries the reader into the quaint ranch life of the West with an ease that makes him revel, for the time, in the glories of the mud-chinked cabins and humble fare, until the song of the meadow lark is the sweetest sound in the world.” Rollin E. Smith, The Sportsman’s Magazine

Theodore Roosevelt (1858 – 1919) was the 26th president of the United States and a noted sportsman and naturalist. This book was first published in 1888. He died in 1919.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was an American politician, statesman, conservationist, naturalist, historian, and writer who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909.
Roosevelt was a prolific author, writing with passion on subjects ranging from foreign policy to the importance of the national park system. Roosevelt was also an avid reader of poetry.
In all, Roosevelt wrote about 18 books (each in several editions), including his autobiography, The Rough Riders, History of the Naval War of 1812, and others on subjects such as ranching, explorations, and wildlife.
His most ambitious book was the four volume narrative The Winning of the West, focused on the American frontier in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Roosevelt said that the American character—indeed a new "American race" (ethnic group) had emerged from the heroic wilderness hunters and Indian fighters, acting on the frontier with little government help.

The Naval War of 1812 13-Dec-2016

by Theodore Roosevelt

( 124 )

$6.99 $9.81

Theodore Roosevelt’s landmark work of military history: The definitive account of the War of 1812.

First published in 1882, The Naval War of 1812 established Theodore Roosevelt’s reputation as a noteworthy historian and scholar at just twenty-three years old. Four years later, the US Navy ordered copies of the book to be kept on every ship.

With exhaustive research into all levels of the conflict, Roosevelt presented an illuminating account of the political grievances between the United States and Britain, as well as the virtues and weaknesses of ship commanders on both sides. He demonstrated an impressive understanding of naval technology, detailing weaponry and ship designs and their effects on the outcome of each battle.

Refuting previous accounts of the war, Roosevelt bluntly criticized America’s military weaknesses in the face of the British fleet. Though The Naval War of 1812 initially stirred controversy in political circles, Roosevelt’s persuasive analysis inspired a movement to strengthen our national defense.

The Autobiography of Theodore Roosevelt (Illustrated) 6-Nov-2014

by Theodore Roosevelt

( 178 )

$1.12 $16.99

Naturally, there are chapters of my autobiography which cannot now be written.
It seems to me that, for the nation as for the individual, what is most important is to insist on the vital need of combining certain sets of qualities, which separately are common enough, and, alas, useless enough. Practical efficiency is common, and lofty idealism not uncommon; it is the combination which is necessary, and the combination is rare. Love of peace is common among weak, short-sighted, timid, and lazy persons; and on the other hand courage is found among many men of evil temper and bad character. Neither quality shall by itself avail. Justice among the nations of mankind, and the uplifting of humanity, can be brought about only by those strong and daring men who with wisdom love peace, but who love righteousness more than peace. Facing the immense complexity of modern social and industrial conditions, there is need to use freely and unhesitatingly the collective power of all of us; and yet no exercise of collective power will ever avail if the average individual does not keep his or her sense of personal duty, initiative, and responsibility. There is need to develop all the virtues that have the state for their sphere of action; but these virtues are as dust in a windy street unless back of them lie the strong and tender virtues of a family life based on the love of the one man for the one woman and on their joyous and fearless acceptance of their common obligation to the children that are theirs. There must be the keenest sense of duty, and with it must go the joy of living; there must be shame at the thought of shirking the hard work of the world, and at the same time delight in the many-sided beauty of life. With soul of flame and temper of steel we must act as our coolest judgment bids us. We must exercise the largest charity towards the wrong-doer that is compatible with relentless war against the wrong-doing. We must be just to others, generous to others, and yet we must realize that it is a shameful and a wicked thing not to withstand oppression with high heart and ready hand. With gentleness and tenderness there must go dauntless bravery and grim acceptance of labor and hardship and peril. All for each, and each for all, is a good motto; but only on condition that each works with might and main to so maintain himself as not to be a burden to others.
We of the great modern democracies must strive unceasingly to make our several countries lands in which a poor man who works hard can live comfortably and honestly, and in which a rich man cannot live dishonestly nor in slothful avoidance of duty; and yet we must judge rich man and poor man alike by a standard which rests on conduct and not on caste, and we must frown with the same stern severity on the mean and vicious envy which hates and would plunder a man because he is well off and on the brutal and selfish arrogance which looks down on and exploits the man with whom life has gone hard.

Theodore Roosevelt was one of most remarkable presidents to have ever lived.

From stalking wild geese to hunting elks to protecting the camp from a grizzly bear, this book documents his life out in the plains and mountains of the Midwest.

Never one to shy away from an adventure, Roosevelt’s record of life as a ranchman and hunter has endured today as part of the classic folklore of the West.

Vivid descriptions of the scenery, flora and fauna as well as people that populated the frontier abound within this book that covers Roosevelt’s life throughout 1885.

It is on these plains that Roosevelt began to understand the true American spirit and allowed him to forge his life as a politician.

“Could claim an honourable place on the same shelf as Walton’s Compleat Angler." The Spectator

“Part memoir, part travelogue, part nature essay, and part sociological study … a peculiarly comprehensive documentary of life on the Plains, encompassing wildlife survey, cowboy culture, geographical study, and environmental exigency.” Love of the Land, Zachary Michael Jack

Hunting Trips of a Ranchman provides a fascinating insight into the early life of one of the United States’ most interesting presidents.

Theodore Roosevelt was an American statesman, author, explore, soldier, naturalist and reformer who served as the 26th President of the United States. He died in 1919.

$3.78 $21.33

An excerpt from The Wilderness Hunter

“In hunting, the finding and killing of the game is after all but a part of the whole. The free, self-reliant, adventurous life, with its rugged and stalwart democracy; the wild surroundings, the grand beauty of the scenery, the chance to study the ways and habits of the woodland creatures—all these unite to give to the career of the wilderness hunter its peculiar charm. The chase is among the best of all national pastimes; it cultivates that vigorous manliness for the lack of which in a nation, as in an individual, the possession of no other qualities can possibly atone.”
