[Bjipson · Rating 3 out of 5]

I do have a special interest in the Roosevelt family, and in this book Miller weaves together the history of many individuals in the Roosevelt family, with extra attention given to TR, FDR, and Eleanor Roosevelt, but including the original immigrant to America and going through to those still alive in the 1970s. Maybe a little too much, actually, but I'm glad I read it.

An interesting book documenting the Roosevelt family from the 1600's to late 1970's. Obviously a lot of space is given to the big 3 but it was interesting to see the family emerge from the early colony forward.
