Issue 17, September 2008: Theodore Roosevelt and the Progressive Era

The Institute is pleased to present the seventeenth issue of History Now, a quarterly online journal for history teachers and students, available at www.historynow.org.

In this issue of History Now, leading scholars of Theodore Roosevelt and of the Progressive Era offer new insights into the man, his philosophy, and his political achievements. From hunter to teddy bear, from trust-buster to champion of capitalism, from Republican president to Bull Moose challenger, T.R. remains controversial, contradictory, and above all, larger than life. Our contributors suggest the rich possibilities for exploring the man and the era in the classroom.
