Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The White House Gang' is a charming and insightful memoir that offers a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the private life of a presidential family. Narrated by Earle Looker, a member of the boisterous group of youngsters known as the 'Gang,' the work follows the childhood escapades of Quentin Roosevelt, the youngest son of President Theodore Roosevelt, and his close-knit circle of friends. Set within the corridors and hidden corners of the Executive Mansion during the early 1900s, this account provides a vivid portrait of a bygone era in American history.Through Looker's recollections, readers witness the energetic and often mischievous spirit of a group of boys who treated the halls of power as their personal playground. From clandestine meetings in the attic to high-stakes games of tag, the narrative captures the essence of youthful innocence juxtaposed against the backdrop of global leadership. Central to the story is the presence of President Theodore Roosevelt himself, depicted not just as a world leader, but as a devoted and spirited father who frequently participated in the Gang's adventurous games. 'The White House Gang' remains a significant piece of Americana, blending historical value with heartwarming anecdotes that illustrate the human side of the American presidency.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When Theodore Roosevelt became president at age forty-two upon the assassination of William McKinley, he was the youngest President to have ever served - then and now - and was father to six children, ranging in age from three to seventeen. During his term, watching the Roosevelt family became a national pastime. Each day, news of the First Family was consumed by newspaper readers. The best known Roosevelt child was, of course, the President himself. His pillow fights with his sons, sometimes while keeping the cabinet waiting, were notorious. One magazine described the phenomenon by saying people could no more ignore the Roosevelt stories 'than a small boy can turn his head away from a circus parade followed by a steam calliope.' Roosevelt's children, along with some of their cousins and friends, came to be called the White House Gang. Roosevelt, certainly the most famous Gang member, was singularly able to encourage the positive qualities of his and other boys while leading the United States into the 20th Century. But the Gang's real leader was Roosevelt's youngest child Quentin. They roller skated in the hallways, stilt-walked through high ceilinged rooms, spit-balled portraits and explored every possible space of the White House from roof to attic to basement. One of their favorite games was to stage 'attacks' upon various government office buildings. 'This book tells how Theodore Roosevelt handled his children, how he won their love and respect, and how he won them to his way of thinking. There ought to be an Amendment to the Constitution compelling every mother and father to read this book. It is a fascinating story, and if you read it and heed it, you will be a better parent. Your children will be happier, and you will be happier.' ----Dale Carnegie, author of 'How to Win Friends and Influence People', April 20, 1938.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The story begins in France soon after the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 Armistice on the Western Front. Signed by the Allies and Germany at Compiègne, the Armistice thus terminated hostilities within six hours of signature and ended the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Shared by the U.S. forces with the French Fourth Army, Meuse-Argonne was the principal engagement of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I, engaging 1.2 million American soldiers. Its successful objective was to capture the railway hub at Sedan and thus break the railway network essential to supporting the German Army in France and Flanders. It was the largest frontline commitment of troops by the U.S. Army during the war, also its deadliest, resulting in 26,277 American deaths and 95,786 wounded over 47 days of intense, bloody fighting.The story progresses over four months, following Armistice on the Western Front, through a succession of adventures encountered by a thoughtful young American soldier and journalist from Virginia, David Atwood, and chronicles his mental state from disillusionment, lost love, hopelessness and depression toward the possibility of ultimately coming to terms with himself and acquiring a renewed sense of purpose. Any sensitive war veteran of any age will likely find some aspects of him or herself in these pages and a hopeful promise of personal transformation.This is the story of a personal journey a young soldier's path up and out of an uncaring universe toward spiritual awakening and individual self-actualization discovering his promise and tendency to become actually what he is potentially, to become everything he is capable of becoming, to seek the frontiers of his creativity and strive to reach higher levels of consciousness, happiness, awareness and wisdom, to potentially becoming a fully conscious human a grateful 'spiritual warrior' or will he.…
