"[...]William Curtis described in the Potiphar Papers. The black haircloth furniture in the dining-room scratched the bare legs of the children when they sat on it. The middle room was a library, with tables, chairs, and bookcases of gloomy respectability. It was without windows, and so was available only at night. The front room, the parlor, seemed to us children to be a room of much splendor, but was open for general use only on Sunday evening or on rare occasions when there were parties. The Sunday evening family gathering was the redeeming feature in a day which otherwise we children did not enjoy—chiefly because we were all of us made to wear clean clothes and keep neat. The ornaments of that parlor I remember now, including the gas chandelier decorated with a great quantity of cut-glass prisms. These prisms struck me as possessing peculiar magnificence. One of them fell off one day, and I hastily grabbed it and stowed it away, passing several days of furtive delight in the treasure, a delight always alloyed with fear that I would be found out and convicted of larceny. There was a Swiss wood-carving representing a very big hunter on one side of an exceedingly small mountain, and a herd of chamois, disproportionately small for the hunter and large for the mountain, just across the ridge.

Not really an autobiography, more a first person justification By Damon Wells First, let me say that Theodore Roosevelt is one of my favorite presidents. If, like me, you consider T.R. one of the greatest of our presidents and want to learn more about him, I recommend reading Edmund Morris' trilogy on him, especially "Theodore Rex". That being said, this autobiography is little more than T.R. justifying many of his decisions throughout his public life and presidency, while praising those who helped him and lambasting those who did not. While that may give you some insight into his character, for me I was lost in the minutiae. I am sure the autobiography provides reams of information for historians as raw data, but as an interesting read I found myself having to trudge through it.
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. should have used a ghost writer By Don Bourdeau i came away from this book slightly bewildered and amused. teddy roosevelt was a mans man but he was also very strange. he never mentioned one of his children by name but seemed rather fond of the time he spent with them. he never said a word about what his relationship with his wife was like other than she bore him many children. he was obsessed with defending himself from any criticism and went to great lengths to explain how impeccably honorable he was. there was also virtually no time line to the story. i never knew if he was young or old or whether he was talking about being a clerk or the president it was so random. very uneven accounts. very interesting then very boring and repetitive
