Before we get started, I feel there is something I should address:

My family name, "Roosevelt," is of Dutch roots, and, therefore, more complicated than it seems. Even within the family itself, there's been disagreements on how to pronounce it. I, myself, prefer "ruse-eh-velt," as opposed to the more popular "rose-uh-velt."

This difference in pronunciation may also illuminate the rather funny play on words in my e-mail, which may make you chuckle. I certainly did upon thinking of it.

Well, good night, citizens.

Greetings, citizens!

Indeed, it is I, Theodore Roosevelt. I've created a blog (with some difficulty, I assure you), in order to answer questions, talk about my life, and rant (as a Bull Moose tends to do).

How does one ask me questions? I have also created an e-mail, theodorebruisevelt@hotmail.com, where one can send inquiries, and I can answer to the best of my ability.

Thank you, citizens, and I hope to receive many e-mails!
