My Brother Theodore Roosevelt (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Brother Theodore Roosevelt This Preface I write to my fellow countrymen as I give into their hands these intimate reminiscences of my brother, Theo dore Roosevelt. A year and a half ago I was invited by the City History Club of New York to make an address about my brother on Washing ton's Birthday. Upon being asked what I would call my speech, I replied that as George Washington was the F ather of his country, as Abraham Lincoln was the Saviour of his country, so Theodore Roosevelt was the Brother of his country, and' that, therefore, the subject of my speech would be The Brother of His Country.
