It was during Theodore Roosevelt's hospitalization in late 1918, near the end of his life, that American newspaper editor Joseph Bucklin Bishop disclosed that he wanted to publish examples of letters Roosevelt had written to his children when they were young. Theodore Roosevelt's Letters to his Children, released in 1919, became a national best selling book and made Bishop economically self-sufficient for the remainder of his life.
