A man with excellent memory, he memorized all the men, almost a thousand. Especially fascinating, as I assumed it would be, was his time with the Rough Riders. From his Harvard education to his time spent on the Dakotas. The whole early life of this man was fascinating. Reading the book, one can even understand how Roosevelt talked. Morris’ narrative is very readable, it is obvious he is fascinated, as well as amused by Mr. This was a fascinating book, and certainly intensively researched. Actually, I was attempting to read the President’s biographies in order but decided that I might as well read The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt after visiting the President’s home, Sagamore Hill, this summer. I’ve been looking to read Edmund Morris’ three-part biography for several years. However, upon finishing this book I didn’t realize how many books about him.

My rating for The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt – 5īuy The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt from * This is the first book of a trilogy, is also considered to be the authoritative biography of the President. The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris is a biography of the 26 th President of the United States.
