Book notes
Theodore Roosevelt Association Executive Director John A. Gable announces the forthcoming publication of Edmund Morris’s The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and argues that it “fills in the gap” in the existing literature about Theodore Roosevelt’s life and career before the presidency. He praises the book and predicts that it “is destined to be a classic.” He also announces that works by David McCullough on the Panama Canal and John Morton Blum on Roosevelt have been issued in paperback versions.
An advertisement for the Roosevelt Savings Bank with a listing of its branch offices in the greater New York City area follows the “Book Notes” column.
