Mornings on Horseback, The Story of an Extraordinary Family, and the Unique Child Who Became Theodore Roosevelt

From the best-selling author of Truman comes the story of a remarkable little boy, seriously handicapped by recurrent and almost fatal asthma attacks, and his struggle to manhood. A book that is at once an enthralling story that 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.
