Theodore Roosevelt

The American Presidents Series: The 26th President, 1901-1909

An intimate portrait of the first president of the 20th century

The warm and knowing biography traces Roosevelt's involvement in the politics of New York City and New York State, his celebrated, military career, and his ascent to the national political stage. Caricatured through history as the "bull moose", Roosevelt was in fact a man of extraordinary discipline whose refined and literate tastes actually helped spawn his fascination with the rough-and-ready world of war and wilderness.

The book was really detailed.

I loved the detail and the effort put in it. Also, it was cool to learn about TR.
