The Preface states: "In this volume I have gathered certain addresses I made before the American Historical Association, the University of Oxford, the University of Berlin, and the Sorbonne at Paris, together with six essays I wrote for The Outlook, and one that I wrote for The Century. In these addresses and essays I have discussed not merely literary but also historical and scientific subjects, for my thesis is that the domain of literature must be ever more widely extended over the domains of history and science.... Theodore Roosevelt". Citizenship in a Republic is included--which includes the famous "in the arena" passage. The contents include: History as Literature, Biological Analogies in History, The World Movement, Citizenship in a Republic, The Thraldom of Names, Productive Scholarship, The Foundations of the Nineteenth Century, The Search for Truth in a Reverent Spirit, The Ancient Irish Sagas, and An Art Exhibition. Three of these chapters also appears in African and European Addresses.

This second volume of this classic study covers operations on the ocean in 1814, operations on the Great Lakes in 1814, operations in 1815, and the Battle of New Orleans. The Battle of New Orleans was a series of engagements fought between December 14, 1814 and January 18, 1815, constituting the last major battle of the War of 1812. American combatants, commanded by Major General Andrew Jackson, prevented a much larger British force, commanded by Admiral Alexander Cochrane and General Edward Pakenham, from seizing New Orleans and the territory of the Louisiana Purchase. The Treaty of Ghent had been signed on December 24, 1814, and hostilities continued without the involved parties knowing about the Treaty, until January 18 by which time all of the British forces had retreated, putting an end to the Battle of New Orleans.

No American president has been closer to the working life of the West than Theodore Roosevelt. From 1884 to 1886 he built up his ranch on the Little Missouri in Dakota Territory, accepting the inevitable toil and hardships. He met the unique characters of the Bad Lands—mountain men, degenerate buffalo hunters, Indians, and cowboys—and observed their changes as the West became more populated. Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail describes Roosevelt's routine labor and extraordinary adventures, including a stint as a deputy sheriff pursuing three horse thieves through the cold of winter. Recounting stories of cowboy fights or describing his hunting of elk, antelope, and bear, the book expresses his lifelong delight in physical hardihood and tests of nerve.

Index. This is one of the Classics of American Sport series. The Roosevelt–Rondon Scientific Expedition was a survey expedition in 1913–14 to follow the path of the Rio da Dúvida ("River of Doubt") in the Amazon basin. The expedition was jointly led by Theodore Roosevelt, the former President of the United States, and Colonel Cândido Rondon, the Brazilian explorer who had discovered its headwaters in 1909. Sponsored in part by the American Museum of Natural History, they also collected many new animal and insect specimens. The river was eventually named "Rio Roosevelt" for the former president, who nearly died during the voyage. In 1992 a modern expedition was organized and sponsored in part by the Theodore Roosevelt Association. It reported that his expedition "found spots chronicled by the original team, saw plants and insects they described, and went down the rapids that crushed the dugout canoes of 1914" More

Publisher's ephemera from the University Press of Kansas Press has been laid in. Historian Lewis L. Gould has specialized in the history of American politics. His books have often focused on the American presidency, as well as First Ladies of the White House. In many cases Gould's books have contradicted conventional wisdom to offer a fresh historical viewpoint on his subject. In addition to books with more narrow focuses, such as 1968 and his analyses of individual presidents like McKinley and Roosevelt, Gould has written broad histories of American politics. In The Modern American Presidency, for example, the historian covers the administrations of William McKinley through George W. Bush. His main thesis in tracing the evolution of the presidential office is that the head of state's responsibilities have become so broad over the years that it is nearly impossible for any one person to carry out the leadership role effectively, especially as the president has become more of a national symbol of the country. Gould also criticizes the cult of celebrity that has caused presidents to spend increasingly large amounts of time and energy campaigning for reelection, rather than focusing on their executive responsibilities.
