The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris on Audio Cassette

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt is the story of seven menвЂ“вЂ“a naturalist, a writer, a lover, a hunter, a cowboy, a soldier, and a politicianвЂ“вЂ“who вЂњmergedвЂќ at the age of forty-two to become the youngest American president in history. Rarely has any public figure exercised such a charismatic hold on the American people. Edith Wharton compared his vitality to radium. Henry Adams likened the velocity of his career to an express train. Walter Lippmann described him simply as our only вЂњlovableвЂќ president. During the years covered by this book (1858-1901), Roosevelt built himself up from a frail, asthmatic boy to full-blooded manhood. He had a youthful romance as lyricalвЂ“вЂ“as tragicвЂ“вЂ“as any in Victorian fiction. He chased thieves across the Badlands with a copy of Tolstoy in one hand and a Winchester rifle in the other.
