The Golden Lad: The Haunting Story of Theodore and Quentin Roosevelt

[Read by Traber Burns]Never has a more exuberant man been our nation's leader. He became a war hero, reformed the NYPD, busted the largest railroad and oil trusts, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and built the Panama Canal-- to name a few of his accomplishments. But the cause he championed the hardest, America's entry into WWI, would ultimately defeat him. His youngest son, Quentin, his favorite, would die in an air fight. The Roosevelts were a family of pillow fights and pranks, but it was Quentin, the frailest son, who had worried his father the most. Looking at Theodore's relationship with his son and understanding him as a father can tell us something new about this larger-than-life man.
