I am looking for an old book on Throdore Rossevelt that I read in High
School. I remember it as a large book with a lot of pictures (I would
guess anywhere between 500 to 1000 pages), and it covered Rossevelt's
life from birth to death.

As I graduated high school in 1976, and the book was old then, I am
sure itis out of print, but I would like to find out the name.

Thank you

Request for Question Clarification by juggler-ga on 09 Nov 2005 14:45 PST

Hi,

Was it "The Life and Times of Theodore Roosevelt" (1959) by Stefan Lorant?

The book was 640 pages and includes an unusually large number of
photos and drawings (750).


Several photos of the book may be seen in this recent eBay auction:
