The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris
4.0
I am incredibly proud of myself for having finished this TOME of a book. If I were to have read this in paperback, it would have totaled 960 pages.
I have the utmost respect for Edmund Morris. You can feel just how passionate he is about the subject of Teddy Roosevelt. The time his research alone must have taken... I am in awe. After reading this book, I feel like I know Roosevelt on a personal level.
This book deals with Roosevelt's childhood, his college years, his first marriage, his early political career, and his path to the Presidency. The book ends with him receiving word that he is about to become President.
I firmly believe, after reading this incredibly detailed account of his life, struggles, and personal convictions, that Roosevelt was one of the most interesting people in American history. Just reading about all of his accomplishments is exhausting. How could one man do it all? But he did. I feel he lived at least three lives. And Edmund Morris makes sure to tell you about every second in an interesting and thought-provoking way.
I'm extremely proud for finishing this and look forward to reading the next chapter of his life.
