The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris

4.0

Very detailed history of TR's rise.

This book took me several months to complete as I had to put it down for periods of time and return to it later. This does not mean that it was too boring or tedious but that i knew I had part two and three of this biography to read and didn't want to spend 6 months to a year reading about TR alone. This book provides a lot of detail on his early life and early political career. TR was a man who tried his hand at many things over the course of his first 40 plus years. He seems to have had a lot of energy to always be trying something new. I am looking forward to the sequel biography that describes his presidency.
