Writings of Theodore Roosevelt
Papers
Our work comes from research and reading in a variety of places. We have visited and used materials in the Theodore Roosevelt Collection in the Houghton and Widener Libraries at Harvard University; the Theodore Roosevelt Papers in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress (also available in microfilm); the American Museum of Natural History in New York City; the Theodore Roosevelt Papers Collection at the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site; the archives at the American Academy of Arts and Letters; the Royal Geographical Society Archives in London; and American collections in the British Library.
The digitization of Roosevelt’s letters and diaries and journals continues at the Theodore Roosevelt Center at Dickinson State University, Harvard’s Theodore Roosevelt Collection, the Almanac of Theodore Roosevelt, and the Theodore Roosevelt Association. Online, these sources have been vital to us:
The digital library of the Theodore Roosevelt Center at Dickinson State University. http://www.theodorerooseveltcenter.org/Research/Digital-Library.aspx.
The Theodore Roosevelt Collection in the Houghton Library at Harvard University. http://www.hcl.harvard.edu/libraries/houghton/collections/roosevelt.html.
The Almanac of Theodore Roosevelt. http://www.theodore-roosevelt.com/.
The Theodore Roosevelt Association. http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/.
Our study is based on digital material and also on these seminal collections of his letters, diaries, journals, and publications:
The Letters of Theodore Roosevelt. 8 vols. Edited by Elting E. Morison, John M. Blum, et al. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1951–54.

Books by Theodore Roosevelt
Roosevelt’s oeuvre continues to be counted and recounted, the Roosevelt Almanac listing fifty-three titles, including juvenilia and policy papers, and the Roosevelt Center listing sixty-six titles, including campaign publications and various works collected and published after his death. John Hall Wheelock in a 1920 bibliography counted sixty-three titles, some of them individual speeches collected in other places. In 2010, Jonathan Nicholas Arnold, in his PhD dissertation, kept the number at thirty-five books written and three coauthored, all published before Roosevelt’s death. Harvard University is currently working to establish a definitive list, based on the work of former Theodore Roosevelt Collection curator Wallace Finley Dailey, who has worked generously with Roosevelt scholars over many years, and the current curator, Heather Cole, whose bibliography of TR’s work is soon to be published. They have relied on the early work of Robert William Glenroie Vail, the first librarian of the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Association, who put together a considerable file in 1926. No one yet has his count, and he never pushed the daunting details into a complete bibliography. “It depends on what you are counting,” Cole puts the problem before us.
For this study of Roosevelt as a writer, our number is forty-eight books, including forty-two works that he wrote himself—two of them collected posthumously—and six that he wrote with friends. We consider these books to be the core of Theodore Roosevelt’s literary contribution.
Throughout this biography, we refer to texts that are readily available to our readers in digital form, and we have selected a variety of editions with original illustrations. Whenever possible, we use online editions of Roosevelt’s writings that allow readers immediate access to the texts we are talking about. We invite you to read along with us as Roosevelt’s literary life unfolds.
