Author: David McCullough

Mornings on Horseback is a captivating journey through the early life of Theodore Roosevelt. McCullough’s vivid prose brings young Teddy to life, from his asthmatic childhood to his transformation into a robust outdoorsman. I was particularly moved by the tender portrayal of the Roosevelt family dynamics. The author’s meticulous research shines through, painting a rich portrait of Gilded Age America. It’s a testament to the power of perseverance and the shaping of an extraordinary leader.

Black care rarely sits behind a rider whose pace is fast enough.
