Nancy-Dabney Jackson examines the private life of her grandmother, Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt. She focuses on Roosevelt’s life after the death of her husband, Theodore Roosevelt. Jackson looks at Roosevelt’s church attendance, her love of gardening and the outdoors, and her devotion to reading. She notes that Roosevelt wore mourning black after her husband’s death and that she remained an intensely private person. Two photographs of Roosevelt appear in the article.
