Outside
of his political career, Roosevelt was both a voracious reader and tireless
writer. He wrote thousands and thousands
of letters and essays and had 25 books published about a range of subjects,
including history, biology, geography and philosophy.
His
writing about the American West, in particular, has stood the test of time and is still
often used by those seeking depictions of life on the frontier in those times. And, of course,
his concern for our environment and protecting our land for future generations did more to shape of our current national park system than perhaps any
other president before or since.
