Letters from Theodore Roosevelt to Anna Roosevelt Cowles 1870 to 1918 is a collection of personal letters written by former United States President Theodore Roosevelt to his younger sister Anna Roosevelt Cowles. The letters cover a span of almost 50 years, from 1870 when Roosevelt was just 12 years old, up until 1918, just two years before his death. The letters offer a unique insight into the personal life of one of America's most iconic presidents, as well as the relationship between two siblings. The topics covered in the letters range from family news and updates to politics, personal struggles, and the challenges of public life. The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in American history, the Roosevelt family, or the personal writings of great leaders.1924. This volume of letters from Theodore Roosevelt to his older sister, Mrs. Cowles, is most intimate and informing. The letters cover a period of fifty years, ending with a short note written only a few days before his death. The boy and the man had the greatest admiration and affection for his older sister, and he wrote to her with extreme frankness. When he came to occupy great positions, he would write to her of significant things with the confidence and freedom from restraint of a family council. The accounts of his boxing lessons, of his rowboat rides when he was in society (ahem!), of how he was ousted as Sunday-school teacher, of his presents for the Ranch children, are no less interesting than his attempt to escape being sidetracked as Vice President. In these letters is shown that zest for the daily happening that made his Letters to His Children so wonderful.
