The National Book Award–winning biography that tells the story of how young Teddy Roosevelt transformed himself from a sickly boy into the vigorous man who would become a war hero and ultimately president of the United States, told by master historian David McCullough.Mornings on Horseback is the brilliant biography of the young Theodore Roosevelt. Hailed as “a masterpiece” (John A. Gable, Newsday), it is the winner of the Los Angeles Times 1981 Book Prize for Biography and the National Book Award for Biography. Written by David McCullough, the author of Truman, this is the story of a remarkable little boy, seriously handicapped by recurrent and almost fatal asthma attacks, and his struggle to manhood: an amazing metamorphosis seen in the context of the very uncommon household in which he was raised. The father is the first Theodore Roosevelt, a figure of unbounded energy, enormously attractive and selfless, a god in the eyes of his small, frail namesake. The mother, Mittie Bulloch Roosevelt, is a Southerner and a celebrated beauty, but also considerably more, which the book makes clear as never before. There are sisters Anna and Corinne, brother Elliott (who becomes the father of Eleanor Roosevelt), and the lovely, tragic Alice Lee, TR’s first love. All are brought to life to make “a beautifully told story, filled with fresh detail” (The New York Times Book Review). A book to be read on many levels, it is at once an enthralling story, a brilliant social history and a work of important scholarship which does away with several old myths and breaks entirely new ground. It is a book about life intensely lived, about family love and loyalty, about grief and courage, about “blessed” mornings on horseback beneath the wide blue skies of the Badlands.

The book was, as is every McCullough book, very well written and very well researched. However, I did not find it as interesting as many other McCullough books are. Teddy lead a charmed childhood.- parents of extraordinary wealth, a physically beautiful and loving mother, a brilliant, highly ethical and loving father. Except for Teddy's bouts with asthma, the story is so picturesque that it does not provoke any powerful emotions. But I did feel more than a little bit of disappoint with Teddy, because he essentially abandoned his daughter by his first marriage and why did he get such pleasure in killing a multitude of animals. However, I have to remember the times were different and I have to recognize in the best of times even the best of people have flaws. There is one thing that bothers me about a multitude of history books - they will tell the day and month of an event but do not mention the year. I have to go back and read and research to find the year. I wish these writers would also mention the year when they give the date.
