Description
Summary:Abstract Theodore Roosevelt on Gouverneur Morris: A Future President's Appraisal of the Witness of Two Revolutions In 1888,Theodore Roosevelt, a young historian, and president-to-be, published a biography of Gouverneur Morris, one of the lesser-known Founding Fathers. Characteristically, Roosevelt seemed more concerned with expounding his own political thinking than with writing history. Yet, for this reason, a study of the future president's discourse, examined in the light of the response of an eminent revolutionary, minister to France during the Terror, affords an assessment of the influence in the United States, one century later, of the legacy of two revolutions, as embodied by a prestigious maker of American history.
