Theodore Roosevelt's Letters to His Children

Towards the end of Theodore Roosevelt’s life in 1918, newspaper editor Joseph Bucklin Bishop worked with the former president to collect and publish letters Roosevelt had written to his children throughout their lives. Published posthumously, the volume became a bestseller and revealed a heartwarming side of Teddy as a father. Beginning before his children could even read, Roosevelt wrote “picture letters,” that included his own delightful illustrations that evoke the imagination of childhood. Continuing through his children’s youth and adolescence, the letters are filled with love, humor, advice and of course animals and nature. Discover a uniquely personal window into the family life of Theodore Roosevelt and be inspired by this loving tribute to fatherhood.
