Reviews

A most original contribution to U.S. cultural history and to the study of an exceptional president whose achievements still resonate in the collective psyche, this book throws light on the cultivation and workings of historical memory and should arouse interest not only among Roosevelt scholars and other historians, but also among social scientists and all students of cultural memory and cult-like commemorations.--Serge Ricard, editor of A Companion to Theodore Roosevelt

Teddy Roosevelt never died; he simply caught his breath before regaining his grip on the American imagination. Complex in life, he became, in death, nearly all things to all people, as Michael Cullinane demonstrates in this fascinating and insightful book.--H. W. Brands, author of TR: The Last Romantic
