Theodore Roosevelt was the first former president of the United States to also be elected to the presidency of the American Historical Association. (Woodrow Wilson would be the second.) Roosevelt was noted for a number of historical works, particularly The Naval War of 1812 (which many still consider the best work on the subject) and the four-volume Winning of the West.
