A Bully Father: Theodore Roosevelt's Letters to His Children

The Roosevelt family, with its rambunctious father and six children, invaded and occupied the White House as no other family has since. Roosevelt was a wonderful father, writing to his children, guiding them, playing with them and loving them as do only the best fathers. Long out of print, these personal letters are warm, wonderfully wise and witty—the best things Teddy Roosevelt ever wrote. Photos.
