General Resources

Here, I can’t resist recommending one of my favorite works of American “popular” history:

Sullivan, Mark. Our times: The United States, 1900-1925 (6 vols). New York: Scribner's Sons, 1926-35.

I read Sullivan's series when I was still in grade school, and I still marvel at his skill in blending sound historical judgment with images (photos, cartoons, sheet music) that summon up the culture and politics of the era.

Although earlier Presidents had faced earlay movie cameras, T.R. was the first whose Presidential career was filmed with any consistency. Our friends at American Memory have a terrific Website with films of “Teddy” at work:

Also sound recordings of four of his speeches during the 1912 Bull Moose campaign:
