Sample Book Insights:
#1 Gifford Pinchot was a bit odd, but he was self-aware enough to know that he was considered strange. He knew Roosevelt from sportsmen circles in the Empire State, and they came to the governor's mansion in Albany with Christopher Grant La Farge, son of the painter John La Farge, a close friend of Teddy's.
#2 The two men talked about the forest protection and the fear of a coming timber famine caused by industrial-age logging. They agreed that Americans had become too shortsighted with the continent they now straddled.
#3 Roosevelt and Pinchot agreed to a boxing match. Pinchot was a backup quarterback on the football team at Yale, and he was quick on his feet for a big man. He was a little worried about his six-inch height advantage over T. R. , who stood five feet eight inches.
#4 Roosevelt had a very delayed adolescence, as he was always looking out for his best interests. He married the beautiful Alice Hathaway Lee in 1884, and was elected to the New York Assembly the same year. He was Republican minority leader at twenty-five.
