Book notes
John A. Gable reviews two biographies of Alice Roosevelt Longworth: James Brough’s Princess Alice: A Biography of Alice Roosevelt Longworth and Howard Teichmann’s Alice: The Life and Times of Alice Roosevelt Longworth. Gable asserts that Teichmann has written the better book of the two, and he conveys that preference by quoting three passages from his work. Gable says that for literary quality, neither book matches Longworth’s own memoir, and he says that both books are at their best when they “let Mrs. Longworth do the talking.” Because Longworth is still alive, Gable says that the last word on Princess Alice has not yet been written.
Nicholas LaBella reviews and endorses Kevin Brownlow’s The War, the West, and the Wilderness which studies silent films dealing with World War I, nature documentaries, and the American West. Brownlow argues that Theodore Roosevelt was an important figure in the early years of the silent film industry either as a subject or an inspiration for a film. LaBella notes the importance of Roosevelt’s African safari to the genre of nature films.
