American Backlogs

"American Backlogs" is an engaging family chronicle compiled by Edith Kermit Roosevelt and her son, Kermit Roosevelt. This work offers an intimate exploration of the lineage and heritage of two prominent American families, uncovering the lives of ancestors through a curated collection of personal letters, documents, and inherited memoirs.

The narrative invites readers into the private world of these families, revealing the traditions, personal challenges, and core values that shaped multiple generations.
