What Would Teddy Do?

Teddy Roosevelt:  Support the Iraq War or the Environment?

Nashville, TN – In the wake of this historic presidential race, who would one of or most beloved presidents pull for? Would Theodore Roosevelt champion John McCain’s military actions and support of the Iraq war due to his own militaristic past, or would he cheer Barak Obama’s pledge to release America from oil dependency and to protect our environment, like Teddy’s role as a conservationist?

Whatever side of the fence TR might have chosen, there’s no doubt of the impact his presidency and policies have made on the following generations of leaders. His is a life worth examining, and one can do so through a scholarly pictorial volume, the Historic Photos of Theodore Roosevelt, by Stacey Cordery, who is also the author of Alice: Alice Roosevelt Longworth, from White House Princess to Washington Power Broker.

His larger-than-life persona has intrigued and inspired for a century, his charges as governor, president, soldier, historian, and explorer winning fans and garnering him the title of one of the most popular presidents in history.

“Historic photos remind us of America’s past in an immediate way,” says Cordery. “We can get a visceral sense of how big were Roosevelt’s trophy kills, how dramatic was the western terrain he loved, how devastating was the effect of the bullet that tore through his body in 1912, and how remarkable his charisma as we see him in photos with others.”

Historic Photos of Theodore Roosevelt is part of Turner Publishing’s Historic Photos series. These books, highlighting the stories of the great cities across America and famous figures from the past, have been acclaimed as staples in the collection of anyone who loves history.
