Hero Tales from American History

Theodore Roosevelt & Henry Cabot Lodge

An interesting quick read (or listen.) It is a collection of snippets from major events in American history, of course prior to the 20th century. Roosevelt and Lodge were good friends, both well educated and upper crust in society. They alternate telling the stories of American luminaries.

The events are told accurately, if without criticism. But that is somewhat refreshing.
