Mornings on Horseback by David McCulloughMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is my 2nd time taking in this early "morning" biography about the formation of the man that would become president. This focuses on a struggle with asthma (and its apparently psychosomatic dimension among children of that era) as well as his affinity for the outdoors, hunting, being a "ranchman" (and definitely not a "cowboy"). Lot's of family correspondence went into this pre-presidential biography. Theodore Roosevelt's life is considered into the 1890s, before he became the 33rd Governor of New York. His political career and more is quickly summarized in an epilogue.
