Elizabeth E. Roosevelt reminds readers that the Cove Neck peninsula on Long Island, New York, was not the exclusive domain of Theodore Roosevelt and his family. She describes the many Roosevelt families who had estates in the area, and she highlights the frequent gatherings of these clans and the entertainments they enjoyed such as tennis, swimming, and sailing. Roosevelt provides biographical snapshots of some of these family members, including the children of Theodore Roosevelt, and she notes which family members made their homes in the same area where they were raised, including the president’s sons, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Archibald Roosevelt, and his daughter Ethel Roosevelt Derby.
Two photographs of Roosevelt cousins and two photographs of sailing ships supplement the text.
