Description

The eagerly awaited third title in the Cheryl Harness Histories series paints a vibrant portrait of Theodore Roosevelt—Rough Rider, trustbuster, explorer, President, and more—whose bullish attitude without end changed The us.

How did a sickly boy develop into himself into some of the country’s boldest leaders? You can get the full story—front page and at the back of-the-scenes—as only Cheryl Harness can tell it. Through her lively narrative and engaging artwork, readers will see Teddy riding the range in South Dakota, charging up San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War, climbing the political ladder the entire way to the White House, breaking up big business, building the Panama Canal, and big-game hunting in Africa. They’re going to also experience life in The us when the telephone, airplane, and automobile were all brand-new, when women, blacks, and laborers were demanding equal rights, and when the cry for expansion stretched the borders from Maine to the Philippines and from Puerto Rico to Alaska. This used to be an age in which Roosevelt’s promise to give every American a “square deal” and to “walk softly and carry a big stick” helped build the country into a world power.

With a new adventure on almost every page, readers will find themselves “wowed” by this true story of a bigger-than-life American hero, and the country and times in which he lived.
