Before he ascended to the highest office in the land as the United
States youngest president, Theodore Roosevelt, with illustrations
by Frederic Remington, though a New York City man born and bred,
was a devotee of the Old West. In 1888, he published this charming
ode to the American frontier, from the rewarding hard work of a
rancher on the open plains to the pleasures of hunting the big game
of mountains high. Today, the inimitable prose and infectious
enthusiasm of Roosevelts writing here serves as much to limn a
unique aspect of the character of the nation as it sings an elegy
for a disappearing way of life. Includes numerous illustrations by
Frederic Remington. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Roosevelts
Letters to His Children, A Book-Lovers Holidays in the Open,
America and the World War, Through the Brazilian Wilderness and
Papers on Natural History, The Strenuous Life: Essays and
Addresses, and Historic Towns: New York Politician and soldier,
naturalist and historian, American icon THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
(18581919) was 26th President of the United States, serving from
1901 to 1909, and the first American to win a Nobel Prize, in 1906,
when he was awarded the Peace Prize for mediating the
Russo-Japanese War. He is the author of 35 books.
"If I had not spent my year in North Dakota, I would never have
become President of the United States," declared Theodore
Roosevelt. The future statesman took his first steps toward the
highest office in the land in the Dakota Badlands of the 1880s,
where he began his transformation from aristocrat to democrat.
Roosevelt left his home in the East as Theodore, but he returned as
"Teddy," a rugged outdoorsman and soon-to-be hero of the Rough
Riders.
Recounted with infectious enthusiasm, Roosevelt's tales range from
ranching on the open plains to hunting in the mountains. His
reminiscences conjure up the vanished world of the frontier, with
thrilling accounts of chasing bighorn sheep and horse thieves,
encountering Indians, branding cattle, and bronco busting.
Roosevelt's recollections helped elevate the cowboy's image from
that of an ordinary farm laborer into a figure of nobility and
courage. The works of Frederic Remington, another great mythmaker
of the Old West, illustrate these memoirs. Sixty-five
black-and-white images by this renowned American artist complement
Roosevelt's stories of freedom and self-reliance.
