The Great Adventure: Theodore Roosevelt and the Rise of Modern America
by Albert Marrin Teddy Roosevelt was certainly one of our most remarkable Presidents. As a child of priviledged parents he grew out of his early health problems to go from military hero to
pioneering conservationist to powerful politician. His life parallels America's transition from a backwoods frontier to our modern civilization. This amazing biography is chronicled with a very personal voice by Albert Marrin. Along with the hundreds of photographs of Roosevelt and his family and acquaintances is a very personal telling of the life story of this outstanding leader. Young readers in grades 5 and up will find they have a lot to learn about our 26th President.
