Book reviews
James F. Vivian reviews Moose Crossing, Max J. Skidmore’s history of the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway, and he laments, as does Skidmore, that the road better known as Highway 2 has few visible traces of the man for whom it was named. Charles Markis explains why the staff of Sagamore Hill National Historic Site created a children’s book for students who visit Theodore Roosevelt’s home, and he details the process of identifying the book’s theme, choosing illustrations, and publicizing the title. In a review of that work, Simply “Father”: Life with Theodore Roosevelt as Seen Through the Eyes of His Children, Natalie A. Naylor praises the layout and look of the work as well as its historical accuracy. The “Book Review” section closes with an announcement about the 2007 annual meeting of the Theodore Roosevelt Association and notes that Lowell E. Baier’s article about the Elkhorn Ranch from the Theodore Roosevelt Association Journal has been reprinted in the magazine of the Boone and Crockett Club.
The section includes three photographs of Roosevelt with his children at Sagamore Hill.
