it's time to talk about Theodore Roosevelt, who preferred his military title of Colonel, found Teddy to be a childish nickname, and was often simply went by TR. Yes, he was a historian and a prolific writer, as you can see in the bibliography below, which only has a few of his books. He certainly shaped the American history field - becoming one of the three important figures for solidifying the frontier myth as the basis for American exceptionalism. TR was a part of historiographic shift that had major ramifications. I'm somewhat ambivalent about the Colonel. He was certainly an imperialist, white supremacist, war-monger, and nationalist - but he also seemed to learn from his mistakes, unlike Wilson, whom he fervently despised. TR was a strong reformer, Jack of all trades, veteran, and just a fun dude.

Wiki: Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (/ˈroʊzəvɛlt/ ROH-zə-velt;[b] October 27, 1858 - January 6, 1919), often referred to as Teddy or by his initials, T. R., was an American politician, statesman, soldier, conservationist, naturalist, historian, and writer who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He previously served as the 25th vice president under President William McKinley from March to September 1901 and as the 33rd governor of New York from 1899 to 1900. Assuming the presidency after McKinley's assassination, Roosevelt emerged as a leader of the Republican Party and became a driving force for anti-trust and Progressive policies.
