Publisher's Synopsis
After the death of his first wife, Theodore Roosevelt headed to the western frontier, eventually starting his own ranch in the Badlands of the Dakota Territory. Spanning the years of 1884-1886, Roosevelt writes, with incredible joy, his experiences on the ranch, his adventures of buffalo hunting, his love for the common people of the west, the rousing times of the round up, and the daily life of the ranch.
Roosevelt credited his time in the Badlands of North Dakota as the reason for desiring to become the President of the United States of America.
