President Theodore Roosevelt called himself a "book lover" and for
good reason. From his boyhood days in the 1860s to the very end of
his life in 1919, Roosevelt had a deep-seated passion for reading
books. Wherever he went, he brought books with him. Whether he was
rounding up cattle on a ranch in North Dakota, giving campaign
speeches from the back of a train, governing the nation from the
White House, or exploring an uncharted tributary of the Amazon
River, he always made time to read books. Theodore Roosevelt and
His Library at Sagamore Hill includes an overview of Roosevelt's
life as a reader, a discussion of the role that reading particular
books played in shaping his life and career, and a short history of
his personal library. The book also provides researchers and others
interested in Roosevelt's life with a complete list of Roosevelt's
books that are currently located at Sagamore Hill, his home in
Oyster Bay, New York. The books in his personal library reflect his
love of classic works of literature, his interest in history, and
his fascination with the natural sciences. Theodore Roosevelt and
His Library at Sagamore Hill concludes with an essay that Roosevelt
wrote near the end of his life in which he reflected on his reading
habits and commented on some of his favorite books.
