In his review of A Most Glorious Ride: The Diaries of Theodore Roosevelt, 1877-1886, Duane G. Jundt takes stock of the content of the diaries, highlighting aspects like Theodore Roosevelt’s religious life before and after the death of his parents and first wife. Jundt asserts that the diaries provide glimpses into the evolution and maturation of Roosevelt, and praises the contextual essays penned by the editor Edward P. Kohn, but takes issue with Kohn’s grasp of Roosevelt’s time in the West and his contention that Roosevelt’s life in the eastern seaboard proved more important than his tenure in Dakota and the larger West.
An excerpt from the diaries, three photographs, and the front cover of the book accompany the review. An advertisement for a book about Ronald Reagan by Theodore Roosevelt Association Trustee Gene Kopelson appears on the last page of the review.
