It considers among other things his 'manliness', a gendered framework of traits for the Gilded Age and Progressive Period guiding him and other men in business, politics and war, and shows how the development of these traits transformed Roosevelt's personal and political decisions. The work covers a storied personal life and emphasizes mental and physical challenges from depression, asthma, partial blindness, and attempted assassination. Cogan addresses the political transformation from traditional to "Square Deal" Republican, to "Bull Moose" Progressive. The text also reviews initiatives dismissing corrupt officials, closing saloons, and arresting pimps; busting monopolies, bettering workplaces and consumer products; and conserving wildlife and natural resources. Contrary to popular misconception, Roosevelt's manliness was not macho masculinity. Rather it was an evolving framework of traits, including courage, service, and Christian morality. Supported by a series of intriguing primary source documents, this book is essential reading for understanding Roosevelt, his era, and his manliness. It is an accessible tool for students and instructors teaching courses on the Gilded Age and Progressive Period in American History."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Theodore, $d 1858-1919. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Theodore, $d 1858-1919 $x Health. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $v Biography. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Theodore, $d 1858-1919 $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Masculinity $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 600 30 $a Roosevelt family. 600 37 $a Roosevelt family. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00214712 600 17 $a Roosevelt, Theodore, $d 1858-1919. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00032496 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cogan, Neil H., $t Theodore Roosevelt $d New York, NY : Taylor & Francis, 2020. $z 9780203758403 $w (DLC) 2019051820 830 0 $a Routledge historical Americans 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200702012528.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A906E97AA55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
