US president from 1901 to 1909, an American politician, statesman, soldier, conservationist, naturalist, acclaimed historian … and a lover of books. This is an insight into Roosevelt’s reading interests and ideas about selecting reading material.
From the Foreword: The beauty and charm of the wilderness are his for the asking, for the edges of the wilderness lie close beside the beaten roads of present travel.
The joy of living is his who has the heart to demand it.
Dusty Tomes Audio Books are public domain books retrieved from history. If today’s technology had been available when first printed, they would be audio books already. I am grateful for the opportunity to record them now. Read online at archive.org
Narrator’s Note: I read only as written. These old books were once solid sellers for bookmen of their time. I believe they can shed light on their times and ours. Loving obscure and remote literature, they are a distinct pleasure for me to read to you. These turn out to be distant and unknown only so long as they remain unread or unheard. Aloha.
