Theodore Roosevelt has enjoyed H. Rider Haggard’s book Rural Denmark. He agrees with Haggard regarding the land and those who live on it. Roosevelt comments on settlement patterns and their relations to agriculture and English speaking, as seen in the United States, Canada, Australia, and England. He compares the seemingly transient English settlers in East Africa with the Boers. While Denmark has done well, Roosevelt was puzzled by a particular “queer social growth” during his visit. He understands Haggard’s discouragement in trying to teach people “what is vital for them to learn and what they refuse to learn,” and advises him to approach the task. Roosevelt apologizes for writing “an unconscionably long letter.”

Theodore Roosevelt compliments the author H. Rider Haggard on his book Rural Denmark and draws comparisons to the movement of Americans to towns instead of the country. He also ties in the Boers and English settling East Africa. Roosevelt says he tried as President and still tries to teach “lessons that ought to be learned by my fellow countrymen” and he is horrified at the amount of “dull and uninteresting” writings out there.
