In an article that originally appeared in the New York Sun, John A. Gable reviews two volumes of Theodore Roosevelt’s writings published by the Library of America. Gable asserts that The Rough Riders is a classic combat memoir, and he admits that Roosevelt’s An Autobiography disappoints in its coverage of Roosevelt’s presidency. Gable expresses frustration with the volume of Letters and Speeches because it contains only items that have been previously published while so many interesting Roosevelt letters remain unpublished and unknown. In addition to the reprinted review essay, the section features a text box labeled “What TR Wrote” in which Gable lists the various editions of Roosevelt’s works that are still in print.
The covers of both volumes from the Library of America appear at the center of the review, and a photograph of Gable with Jonathan Roosevelt appears at the section’s conclusion.
