| Summary | "Great-Heart: The Life Story of Theodore Roosevelt" by Daniel Henderson is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life and achievements of Theodore Roosevelt, focusing on his youth, adventures, and character, rather than providing a detailed political analysis of his career. It aims to inspire readers, especially the youth, by illustrating Roosevelt's indomitable spirit, love for the outdoors, and deep sense of patriotism. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces Roosevelt as a young boy plagued by asthma, yet determined to overcome his physical limitations through outdoor activities and a vigorous lifestyle. The opening segment depicts Roosevelt's boyhood adventures, his fierce spirit, and formative experiences in both urban New York and the wild terrains of Long Island, establishing the foundation of his future as a robust and adventurous individual. There are anecdotes of his youthful escapades, his love for horses and nature, and the pivotal friendships that helped shape his character, setting the stage for the remarkable life that followed.
