A historian once said of Theodore Roosevelt's education that it had been "the best kind, for he was both teacher and pupil." by the time he went to Harvard, he had preserved several hundred birds for a collection. How did he become an accomplished scientist at a young age? He: --was curious, always wanting to know more and find out the "why" of things. --learned from playing: imitating animal sounds and habits and making up his own games. --looked up to mentors, including his father, uncles, and a companion of Audubon's. --read deeply from fiction and nonfiction. --continually made observations, filling diaries and notebooks with charts and essays. --sketched nature in letters and notebooks. --took risks, ready to pay the piper if he thought something was worthwhile. --customized learning to his own needs, starting a natural history museum at home when he was eight and inventing a code for bird songs. --studied the real thing, with "being there" experiences in the outdoors. --shared information with family and friends. Look for more in this book, and get to know a unique boy who still inspires others today.

Never has there been a president less content to sit still behind a desk than Theodore Roosevelt. When we picture him, he's on horseback or standing at a cliff’s edge or dressed for safari. And Roosevelt was more than just an adventurer—he was also a naturalist and campaigner for conservation. His love of the outdoor world began at an early age and was driven by a need not to simply observe nature but to be actively involved in the outdoors—to be in the field. As Michael R. Canfield reveals in Theodore Roosevelt in the Field, throughout his life Roosevelt consistently took to the field as a naturalist, hunter, writer, soldier, and conservationist, and it is in the field where his passion for science and nature, his belief in the manly, “strenuous life,” and his drive for empire all came together. Drawing extensively on Roosevelt’s field notebooks, diaries, and letters, Canfield takes readers into the field on adventures alongside him. From Roosevelt’s early childhood observations of ants to his notes on ornithology as a teenager, Canfield shows how Roosevelt’s quest for knowledge coincided with his interest in the outdoors. We later travel to the Badlands, after the deaths of Roosevelt’s wife and mother, to understand his embrace of the rugged freedom of the ranch lifestyle and the Western wilderness. Finally, Canfield takes us to Africa and South America as we consider Roosevelt’s travels and writings after his presidency. Throughout, we see how the seemingly contradictory aspects of Roosevelt’s biography as a hunter and a naturalist are actually complementary traits of a man eager to directly understand and experience the environment around him. As our connection to the natural world seems to be more tenuous, Theodore Roosevelt in the Field offers the chance to reinvigorate our enjoyment of nature alongside one of history’s most bold and restlessly curious figures.

The National Book Award–winning biography that tells the story of how young Teddy Roosevelt transformed himself from a sickly boy into the vigorous man who would become a war hero and ultimately president of the United States, told by master historian David McCullough. Mornings on Horseback is the brilliant biography of the young Theodore Roosevelt. Hailed as “a masterpiece” (John A. Gable, Newsday), it is the winner of the Los Angeles Times 1981 Book Prize for Biography and the National Book Award for Biography. Written by David McCullough, the author of Truman, this is the story of a remarkable little boy, seriously handicapped by recurrent and almost fatal asthma attacks, and his struggle to manhood: an amazing metamorphosis seen in the context of the very uncommon household in which he was raised. The father is the first Theodore Roosevelt, a figure of unbounded energy, enormously attractive and selfless, a god in the eyes of his small, frail namesake. The mother, Mittie Bulloch Roosevelt, is a Southerner and a celebrated beauty, but also considerably more, which the book makes clear as never before. There are sisters Anna and Corinne, brother Elliott (who becomes the father of Eleanor Roosevelt), and the lovely, tragic Alice Lee, TR’s first love. All are brought to life to make “a beautifully told story, filled with fresh detail” (The New York Times Book Review). A book to be read on many levels, it is at once an enthralling story, a brilliant social history and a work of important scholarship which does away with several old myths and breaks entirely new ground. It is a book about life intensely lived, about family love and loyalty, about grief and courage, about “blessed” mornings on horseback beneath the wide blue skies of the Badlands.

People living in the Midwest in the years 1916-1919 were experiencing rapid change: the first automobiles, the first airplanes, modern weaponry, and a massive, unified war movement that was nothing like their parents or grandparents had ever seen. A young Indiana National Guardsman, Jesse Covell, began to give glimpses of military life to family and friends in his letters: to one girl, Margaret Beck, in particular. They corresponded as troops were sent to the Mexican border and then to training camps to prepare to go overseas. Everything took more time then: growing their own food and crops, cooking, cleaning house, and going places. They all sat down and wrote what was happening where they were, which included poignant accounts of how Spanish Influenza was affecting almost everyone. Letter writing was an art form from the salutation to the closing, with authors particular about their longhand script. News of home was important to soldiers in camp. Jesse’s brother had forty bushels of potatoes in the cellar…”and they ain’t all dug yet.” His sister was sending maple syrup from trees at the farm to him, and his mother, a homemade cold remedy. There was no cure for the diphtheria which took the lives of two young sisters in a week; neighbors suddenly died, as well as soldiers on U.S. soil and abroad, in the flu epidemic. Sweethearts like Margaret waited and wondered. As they hoped for leaves, there was constant worry about when batteries would be ordered to join the Allied Forces in France. They were planning for the future, but didn’t know what this terrible war would do to change it. On the happy side, they could attend a medicine show, a county fair, a silent Charlie Chaplin movie, or a box social. When they really celebrated on the night of the Armistice, they put together an outrageously decorated truck to drive through the center of town, one shotgun blast after another. Oh, how they loved baseball. Organized teams played in the country at the four corners, but Mother didn’t care for it because they’d hit balls into her field and have to go get them. And they saved everything: old woolen shirts, blossoms from fading lilacs, and of course, the letters, which tell us a story we wouldn’t know otherwise.
