re: #6 Sionainn

Do you have a specific recommendation for a biography on Roosevelt? I’m sure there are a gazillion out there!

The 3 vol Edmund Morris is my favorite.

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt. New York: Coward, McCann & Geoghegan. 1979. ISBN 0-375-75678-7.
Theodore Rex. New York: Random House. 2001. ISBN 978-0-394-55509-6.
Colonel Roosevelt. New York: Random House. 2010. ISBN 978-0-375-50487-7.

McCollough’s Mornings on Horseback is also good.
