High Ideals: Theodore Roosevelt's 1911 Western Trip:

by James Blase, Lou Holtz (Introduction)

Overview

In the same pattern as "Keep it for Your Children: Theodore Roosevelt's 1903 Western Trip," this new book by James Blase creates a first-person account of the now former President's extended vacation out west in the late winter and early spring of 1911. Similar to the situation which existed with his nine-week western vacation trip in the spring of 1903, the former President was too busy during this five-week western trip giving speeches, participating in parades and banquets, and planting trees to be able to write a first-person account of his own. As you travel along with the President over the duration of his second cross-country train journey, notice how Theodore Roosevelt attempts to relate a message of high ideals in every speech which he makes. More importantly, observe how the former President lives these very same high ideals, himself.

Editorial Reviews

I would highly encourage everyone to read this book, and to read it cover-to-cover. I can guarantee you that, should you do so, you will not only grow to intimately appreciate Theodore Roosevelt's approaches to all aspects of life, but you will also learn how to become a much better person yourself, in the process, should you choose to put into practice even some of the "realizable ideals" the former President not only preached during the course of this five-week train trip, but actually lived.
