| Summary | "Theodore Roosevelt" by Henry Cabot Lodge" is a biography that was likely written in the early 20th century. This work reflects on the life and legacy of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, highlighting his character, political achievements, and the impact he had on American society and governance. Lodge, a close friend and ally of Roosevelt, discusses not only his public service but also the personal qualities that made Roosevelt a beloved figure in American history. In this extensive address, Lodge outlines Roosevelt's rise from a delicate child suffering from asthma to a dynamic leader known for his energy and reforms. He details Roosevelt's early political career, revealing his fights against corruption in the New York Assembly and his passion for civil service reform as the President of the Board of Police Commissioners. As Assistant Secretary of the Navy and later as a war hero leading the Rough Riders in Cuba, Roosevelt's courage and dedication to duty shine through. Lodge concludes with a reflection on Roosevelt's character, emphasizing his commitment to American ideals, public service, and the sacrifices made for the nation, particularly in light of the loss of his son during World War I, which touched on Roosevelt's deep personal patriotism and enduring legacy.
