About Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough

David McCullough’s biography follows Theodore Roosevelt from age ten in 1869 to 1886, when he returned from the West as a grown man. It considers his struggle with recurrent, nearly fatal asthma alongside the family life and social world in which he was raised.

Roosevelt’s parents, siblings, and first love are central to this account, which presents his early life as both a family story and a portrait of a vanished way of life. Readers interested in American history, presidential biography, the Roosevelt family, or the influence of illness and family on a public figure will find a detailed study of the years before Roosevelt’s national prominence.
