![]() ![]() Mornings on Horseback spans seventeen years - from 1869 when little "Teedie" is ten, to 1886 when he returns from the West a "real life cowboy" to pick up the pieces of a shattered life and begin anew, a grown man, whole in body and spirit. His mother - Mittie Bulloch Roosevelt - is a Southerner and celebrated beauty. His father - the first Theodore Roosevelt, "Greatheart," - is a figure of unbounded energy, enormously attractive and selfless, a god in the eyes of his small, frail namesake. Hailed as a masterpiece by Newsday, it is the story of a remarkable little boy - seriously handicapped by recurrent and nearly fatal attacks of asthma - and his struggle to manhood. ![]() Winner of the 1982 National Book Award for Biography, Mornings on Horseback is the brilliant biography of the young Theodore Roosevelt. ![]() FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF JOHN ADAMS ![]()
