This work is a concise biography of the life of the "Great-Heart," Theodore Roosevelt, who was considered the most inspiring and, hence, the most dominant figure in national life at that time since Lincoln. His influence on American youth and upon the people as a whole was an uplifting one. The work brings out Roosevelt's intense Americanism, his passion for fair play, and his brave and distinctive character. "Great-Heart" is written with an objective to give the readers a broad idea of his childhood, his youth, and many of the things he did, his high standards, his purity of purpose, his devoted patriotism, his fondness of the outdoor life, and his knowledge not only of towns and cities, but of the wild areas of the world and the people, animals, and birds who reside in them.
