Go West Mr. President: Theodore Roosevelt's Great Loop Tour of 1903

Everything arrived on time and as advertised

It covers just 65 days of the Roosevelt presidency but it’s an interesting slice of his life. His 1903 trip west gave many Americans their first opportunity to see an American President, any President, in person. This is an intimate portrait of the man at the peak of his vitality and popularity.

Go West is a wonderful train trip of a story, an enlightening ride along with Theodore Roosevelt on his famous Great Loop Tour of 1903. The author provides background information from start to finish, historical anecdotes, and generous excerpts from Roosevelt’s speeches every step of the way, bringing to life the President’s energy, common sense, and dignified respect for people that was a hallmark of his character—all presented in Michael F. Blake’s welcoming, reader-friendly style of writing. You’ll sink into this book and not want to leave. Highly recommended.
