Books For the Holidays in the Open from: A Book-Lover’s Holidays in the Open by Theodore Roosevelt. Charles Scribner’s Sons 1916.
Audio copyright 2023Note - This book is ‘read as written'. It was published in 1916. It is in the public domain.
US president from 1901 to 1909, an American politician, statesman, soldier, conservationist, naturalist, acclaimed historian … and a lover of books. This is an insight into Roosevelt’s reading interests and ideas about selecting reading material.
From the Foreword: The beauty and charm of the wilderness are his for the asking, for the edges of the wilderness lie close beside the beaten roads of present travel.
The joy of living is his who has the heart to demand it.

Narrator’s Note: I read only as written. These old books were once solid sellers for bookmen of their time. I believe they can shed light on their times and ours. Loving obscure and remote literature, they are a distinct pleasure for me to read to you. These turn out to be distant and unknown only so long as they remain unread or unheard. Aloha.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) was the twenty-sixth president of the United States. He is noted for his exuberant personality, range of interests and achievements, leadership of the Progressive movement, and “cowboy” image. He was a leader of the Republican Party and founder of the short-lived Progressive Party of 1912. Before becoming president, he held offices at the municipal, state, and federal level of government. Roosevelt’s achievements as a naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier are as much a part of his fame as any office he held as a politician.
