Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough chronicles the childhood of Theodore Roosevelt, from age ten to the mid-1880s, detailing his family life in New York and his transformation from a frail, asthmatic boy into a man, partly through his experiences in the Badlands. The book vividly portrays his wealthy, energetic father, his beautiful mother, and the family's influential household. It covers the family's European travels, Roosevelt's time at Harvard, and the tragic deaths of his wife, Alice, and mother within a few days of each other in 1884.
