Theodore Roosevelt was an American politician, naturalist, military man, author, and the youngest president of the United States. Known for his larger-than-life persona, Roosevelt is credited with forming the Rough Riders, trust-busting large American companies including Standard Oil, expanding the system of national parks and forests, and negotiating the end of the Russo-Japanese War, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906.
A prolific author, Roosevelt’s topics ranged from foreign policy to the natural world to personal memoirs. Among his most recognized works are The Rough Riders, The Winning of the West, and his Autobiography. In addition to a legacy of written works, Roosevelt is immortalized along with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln on Mount Rushmore, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honour by President Bill Clinton for his charge up San Juan Hill during the Spanish-American War, and was given the title of Chief Scout Citizen by the Boy Scouts of America. Roosevelt died suddenly at his home, Sagamore Hill, on January 5, 1919. Roosevelt, along with his niece Eleanor and his cousin Franklin D., is the subject of the 2014 Ken Burns documentary The Roosevelts: An Intimate History.
Abraham Lincoln né le 12 février 1809 dans le comté de Hardin (Kentucky) et mort assassiné le 15 avril 1865 à Washington, D.C., est un homme d'État américain. Il est le seizième président des États-Unis, élu à deux reprises, en novembre 1860 et en novembre 1864, et devient le premier président républicain de l'histoire du pays. Il a dirigé les États-Unis lors de la pire crise constitutionnelle, militaire et morale de leur histoire, la guerre de Sécession, et réussit à préserver l'Union contre les États confédérés du Sud. C'est au cours de cette dernière qu'il fait ratifier le XIIIe amendement de la Constitution des États-Unis, qui abolit l'esclavage. Sorti victorieux de la guerre civile, il est assassiné cinq jours après la fin officielle de celle-ci, à la suite d'un complot organisé par des partisans sudistes, au début de son second mandat.
Le Mystère Trailor fut publié le 15avril 1846 dans The Quincy Whig. Abraham Lincoln, était alors élu de l'Illinois à la Chambre des Représentants. Passionné par les romans policiers d'Edgar Allan Poe, sa formation de juriste lui permet d'entrevoir que le roman noir peut mettre en lumière des injustices qu'il attaquera plus tard en politique
