Product Information

Just as essential to Theodore Roosevelt's accession to the Presidency as his charge up San Juan Hill was his election as Governor of New York four months later. A defeat would have seriously set back and perhaps even destroyed his chances to gain the White House. Yet, until A Rough Ride to Albany, no book has devoted itself primarily to that hard-fought uphill campaign, which he barely won only after a series of energetic "whistle stop" tours, and in which he displayed for the first time a unique power to stir audiences that has rarely been seen in American politics. The book also describes how Roosevelt had to balance his commitment to reform with the positions of New York's Republican leadership, which did not share many of his priorities. It thus provides lessons that are just as relevant today as they were more than one hundred years ago. Although Roosevelt is the book's dominating character, its pages are also filled with other absorbing personalities. Among them are silky Republican "Easy Boss" Thomas Collier Platt, who disliked Roosevelt but for the party's good was forced to back him for Governor; passionate political reformer John Jay Chapman, who accused Roosevelt of backing out on his word by refusing to run as an independent after being assured the Republican nomination; Elihu Root, whose lawyer's skill saved Roosevelt's candidacy when his opponents discovered he had failed to pay his New York taxes; and Richard Croker, the arrogant Democratic boss whose failure to back a sitting judge for refusing to appoint a Tammany Hall functionary to a court clerkship created such public revulsion that Roosevelt was able to capitalize on the incident to turn a likely defeat into victory. A Rough Ride to Albany is must reading for anyone who is fascinated by the career of Theodore Roosevelt or by the details of a dramatic political campaign that helped set the course of Twentieth Century American history.

Reviews
"In the vast scholarship on the political career of Theodore Roosevelt, this book is destined to have only a minor place. Using primarily standard secondary sources and newspaper accounts, Corry provides an interesting yet familiar narrative of Roosevelt's political career to 1898. The primary contribution to the literature is the detailed account of the New York gubernatorial election in 1898. In acknowledging the importance of this narrow victory to Roosevelt's eventual ascension to the White House, the author convincingly shows that it was only Roosevelt's energetic whistle-stop tour of the state and his extraordinary ability to stir audiences that saved him from defeat and possibly irreparable damage to his political career. Readers will get an insightful look at Boss rule and machine politics from the author's discussion of Republican "Easy Boss" Thomas Platt and Democratic Boss Richard Croker, gain a sense of the political frustration often encountered by reform-minded independents like John Jay Chapman, and obtain a realistic sense of the art of political compromise as Roosevelt struggled to balance his own moral commitment to reform with the often amoral positions of his party's state leadership. Recommended for general readers." --Choice, In A Rough Ride to Albany, Corry rightly contends that winning the New York governorship was as important as seizing Cuban hills for Theodore Roosevelt's career. After explaining how TR rose as a reformer among Now York's Republicans and how his war fame led to his selection to head the party's 1898 fall ticket, the book describes in colorful detail the ups and downs of the election campaign. I really enjoyed reading it.
