Elliott and Eleanor Roosevelt by Geraldine Hawkins

Full-length illustrated biography of Elliott Roosevelt (1860-1894), brother to President Theodore Roosevelt and father to First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, with extensive background information on the ancestors and extended family of Theodore and Elliott and the relationship between Elliott and the young Eleanor, who was left an orphan at age 10 when her father died at age 34. The book charts Elliott's happy early years growing up in one of the foremost and most respected families in New York City, through his late teens and early twenties as he traveled extensively through the still-wild American West, Europe, the Middle East and South Asia, his marriage to Anna Hall, the birth of his children, and then his precipitous decline into severe alcoholism and depression, estrangement from his family, attempts at recovery, and final tragic days.
