Go Buy This.

I recommend anyone that is a history buff (like myself), go out and pick up the latest issue of Time. It has Teddy Roosevelt on the cover, and is almost entirely dedicated to him. It's not world class history, but it gives you a great picture of this man's life. This is possibly the first issue of Time I've read cover to cover in at least 5 years, if ever. So often these magazines are filled with pointless BullShit. There are stories covering every aspect of his life, from almost dying in the Amazon, to being the most successful third party presidential candidate ever. He tried doing a lot of things that were ahead of his time. Most importantly he is responsible for our national park system.

Also on page 60 is one of my all time favorite photographs. It's by Jacob Riis, and called Bandit's Roost. I'm sure you'll recognize at least one or two of his photos. Children Sleeping in Mulberry Street is another one of his famous photographs, and is prominently displayed on the site linked to his name.
