Hermann Hagedorn (1882 – 1964) was an American author, poet and biographer.... Hagedorn met Theodore Roosevelt in 1912; he visited Sagamore Hill in 1916 and became a friend. In 1917 Roosevelt proposed that Hagedorn write a biography of Roosevelt, an effort which became "The Boys' Life of Theodore Roosevelt," the first of many biographies that Hagedorn wrote. Drawing upon his friendship with Roosevelt, Hagedorn was able to elicit the support of Roosevelt's friends and associates' personal recollections in this book, first published in 1918 and then updated in 1922. He also served as the director of the Theodore Roosevelt Association from 1919 until 1957, becoming director emeritus until his death in 1964.
