As my wife might say, I am a presidential history buff or a nut. I love reading about the bygone times of Grover Cleveland, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and my favorite president, Theodore Roosevelt. Why Roosevelt you might ask, well to try and keep it simple he was honest, what you saw is what you got, I identify with him in many ways, allow me to explain. He was a big game hunter and formed sanctuaries and parks for preservation. I can see that I don’t hunt personally but have friends who do, and I don’t condemn them. I love animals, and yet I would kill one if it meant my family was going to starve. He left office as secretary of the navy to join a fight against Spain; no one would ever do that, especially in today's society. Roosevelt was a cowboy, a boxer, a politician, a war hero, a father, a devoted husband, and most of all, a real human being, and I respect that. I hope you will read or listen to this book about his own words and get to know one of your presidents, and I hope you will come to appreciate him as much as I have. Tim Simpson 2019
