James R. Sheffield has read Francis E. Leupp’s The Man Roosevelt: A Portrait Sketch. He believes it represents President Roosevelt well, though it does not do justice to his historical writing, particularly The Winning of the West. Sheffield expects Alton B. Parker to be the Democratic nominee for president in the 1904 election. He wishes Elihu Root would run for governor of New York.
