About This Book

A sister's intimate memoir sketches the life and character of her brother, moving from nursery memories and youthful natural-history fascinations to ranching, political ascent, White House family life, and wartime service. Through anecdotes, letters, and photographs the account highlights curiosity, vigorous energy, leadership, and deep family affection, while offering episodic recollections of public struggles and private routines. Organized chronologically into chapters on education, frontier years, reform efforts, the presidency, and later public life, the narrative emphasizes personal insight and family perspective over exhaustive political analysis.

Transcriber’s Note

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained. Apparent mis-spellings in letters written by young children have not been changed; some are noted below.

Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.

Page 39: “your own expresion” was printed with one “s”; “they trie” was printed that way.

Page 67: “did not suceede” was printed that way.

Page 74: “The fisrt” was printed that way.

Page 100: The block of text labelled “[Facsimile: ]” contains the text of a facsimile reproduced in the original book. It looks similar to a long footnote. Within that text, the numbers preceding the species were printed in boldface.
