Theodore Roosevelt, Patriot and Statesman: The True Story of an Ideal American (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt, Patriot and Statesman: The True Story of an Ideal American

Again the statesman expounding statecraft and the relation of nation to nation with a simplicity and power that are rarely surpassed. Also the reformer, energetic in crusades against corruption in office and bad legislation that hamper the freedom Of the citizens and keep the poor and defenseless in subjection. Together with these, there is the man Of war, insisting upon his country's honor being upheld, patriotic in his love for the flag, and doing deeds of daring and bravery with the single impulse to actuate them - the duty he owes to the land of his birth. At the same time this man of many parts is a hunter, a plainsman in the great West, bringing down big game and teaching the meaning Of civilization in explorations of the wild country.
