Probably my favorite all time biography is actually a trilogy by Edmund Morris its his life of Theodore Roosevelt. Volume I The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt. This book covers T.R.’s birth until he ascends to the Presidency. Volume 2 Theodore Rex. A work that recounts his years in the White House. Volume 3 Colonel Roosevelt. The concluding volume covers topics like the 1912 Presidential campaign when Teddy campaigned as a progressive candidate, and his later risky River of Doubt exploration. The final book ends with Roosevelt’s death in 1919. I love the entire trilogy but my favorite book is the first one.
