This is the first book in Edmund Morris's trilogy on Roosevelt (followed by Theodore Rex and Colonel Roosevelt).

Impressive and Thorough

Edmund Morris has written a fantastic 1st book for his biographical trilogy on Theodore Roosevelt. You follow him from birth until he has just become vice-president, only to receive the news of McKinley's death. It's a long book and a worthwhile read. I intend to move onto the 2nd book in a few months. If you are only interested in Roosevelt's presidency, I speculate you can skip to the second book in the trilogy.
