There have been no American presidents like Theodore Roosevelt for creating volumes of books and other written musings about nature, patriotism, family , the American West, and nearly countless other subjects. TR was known for devouring books throughout his life. He was a spirited and beloved father to his five children and an adventurer that was as comfortable in a saddle in Medora, Dakota Territory as he was in Washington DC or mingling with the royalty or common folks from around the world.
