Theodore Roosevelt Letters Reflect Personal Life and Nation's Struggle
The excerpts recount Roosevelt children growing up during his presidency and a period when a coal strike loomed. The president acted as peacemaker by forcing miners and operators into conference amid sharp business criticism. The letters mix family anecdotes from the White House with reflections on politics and social attitudes, ending with an address for Holdt's French pastries.
