Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

With his mustache, spectacles, and signature walrus grin, Theodore Roosevelt was a natural subject for cartoonists. They portrayed him wielding giant clubs against trusts, sternly lecturing coal mine bosses, and enforcing the Monroe Doctrine while dressed in wilderness gear. In Bully!, cartoon historian Rick Marschall presides over a gathering of political artwork that is certain make contemporary editorial cartoonist envious. Bully, indeed.

    Highly recommended.

    Anyone that is a fan of Theodore Roosevelt will thoroughly enjoy this book.It is full of political cartoons of Teddy's life. Sadly, we bought it as a gift for a friend's birthday and did not have enough time to read it all, but we did enjoy many of the cartoons. We will be getting an additional copy to enjoy at our leisure. By the way, our friend was thrilled with his gift!
