In his review of Daniel Ruddy’s Theodore Roosevelt’s History of the United States, Harry N. Lembeck highlights Roosevelt’s thoughts on several of his presidential predecessors, including Thomas Jefferson, John Tyler, and Grover Cleveland. Lembeck admires Ruddy’s collection of Roosevelt’s writings which serve as a history of the United States from the American Revolution through World War I, and he asserts that Roosevelt was both a good writer and “a serious thinker.” Lembeck points out that Roosevelt’s thoughts on topics from foreign policy to the size of government can be gleaned from his historical writings. The book’s front cover supplements the text.
