Biography about Teddy Roosevelt‘s early life. Read it in preparation for a trip to Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. I looked into several different biographies before picking this one, and I think it was a good choice because the national park service was selling it in the visitor centers lol

This was a very interesting book on the story of Theodore Roosevelt as a child and young man. The first part of the book was as much about his father, Theodore Sr., his mother, and his siblings as it was about him. As always Mr. McCullough makes history and biography came alive. The chapter on asthma was very enlightening. I enjoyed the stories of Teddy's time as a state representative and the Republican convention of 1884. A definite thumbs up.

KCofKaysville Liked it a lot over ten years ago and still want to read more McCullough. @Bigriver15 4y

More history books today! My mom has been sending me things she comes across, as she goes through her home and my dad‘s things. Latest box included a couple more of his books, plus some coffee 💖.

kspenmoll Read the Johnstown Flood & really thought it was well done. Think it was this author‘s first book.? 5y
ValerieAndBooks @kspenmoll Yes I also think it was his first— it was originally published in 1968. 5y
