Roosevelt wrote about 18 books (each in several editions), including his Autobiography, The Rough Riders History of the Naval War of 1812, and others on subjects such as ranching, explorations, and wildlife.
His most ambitious book was the narrative The Winning of the West, which connected the origin of a new "race" of Americans (i.e. what he considered the present population of the United States to be) to the frontier conditions their ancestors endured throughout the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. Published in several editions of three to six volumes.
Theodore Roosevelt published
The Winning of the West
in four volumes between
1889-1896.
The Winning of the West
tells the story of the westward expansion of the United States from the Allegheny Mountains to the Pacific Ocean in the late 18th century.
Roosevelt's work is based on government documentation and supported by personal anecdotes of backwoodsmen. He discusses the natural elements of the western frontier as well as the struggles of the backwoodsmen against the Spanish, French and Native Americans, supporting the benefits of aggression in settling the United States.
