Before his fiftieth birthday, Teddy Roosevelt had served as a state legislator in New York, undersecretary of the navy, police commissioner of New York City, governor of New York, and two terms as Vice President and then president of the United States. He also had run a cattle ranch in the Dakota Territories, had worked as a journalist and editor, conducted scientific expeditions on four continents, raised five children, and enjoyed a fulfilling marriage with his wife. No wonder he continues to capture our imaginations as he did the loyalty and respect of his own time.

Eight years before he was elected the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt published these detailed recollections of hunting bison, bear, cougar, elk, moose, deer, and other game around the country.

¿Qué opinaría Franco de los suyos si levantara la cabeza? El 20 de noviembre de 1975, la vida para la familia Franco cambió para siempre. El apellido que hasta entonces solo suponía privilegios empezó a ser también una fuente de resquemores y hasta un estigma. A lo largo de cinco décadas, los descendientes del dictador han vivido mil y un escándalos, aparte de dos entierros. El primero, en el Valle de los Caídos, fue seguido de un largo peregrinaje por el desierto y de años de desunión por parte de la viuda, la hija y los nietos.

Dissatisfied with the reductive clichés that now define Jefferson’s legacy, Peter S. Onuf and Francis D. Cogliano restore the founding father to his historical context, elucidating in three essays how Jefferson’s understanding of history shaped his responses to the crises of his time, how he conceived of the physical entity that became the United States, and how he articulated a new national identity in 1776. Through their search for understanding, Onuf and Cogliano demonstrate not only why Jefferson matters, but how his wisdom can be applied today.
