Leading Press Opinions
“Reflects in every line that wondrous zest of living and doing which has carried his name around the world.... Intensely human.... It is a true romance of the here and the now.... The book of the strenuous life, or, as Mr. Roosevelt now prefers to call it, the ‘vigor of life.’ ... A highly individualized ‘human document.’”—New York Tribune.
“The vigor and directness for which he is justly admired show themselves in every sentence of his book.... Emphatically and unmistakably the author has stamped himself on every page of his book, and no reader desiring a better acquaintance with him will be disappointed in this ample autobiography.”—The Dial.
“Unique and interesting.... An important contribution to the historical literature of our times.... It deals with a career to which as yet there is no perspective.... The book is the personal, official statement of Rooseveltism, as a political creed and gospel. It is Mr. Roosevelt’s own account of his own proceedings, accompanied by his own commentaries. It does not explain. It does not excuse. It declares justification. Not to every man who has retired from the highest office in the land has the opportunity come while he was still in his living prime to confront his critics and strengthen the faith of his friends.”—New York World.
“The book is the crowning tribute to its author’s all-roundness and to his huge gusto of life.”—New York Sun.
