President Roosevelt has written a book that you will want to read again and again. The great hero president was particularly fond of the West. He knew it as few men did. In this book he has told in vivid fashion the never-dying stories of the frontier. Illustrations by Frederic Remington.As a youth Theodore Roosevelt was an enthusiastic student of Western history and pioneer types. Later, as ranchman and hunter, he grew to know intimately and to love deeply the rough, free life of the Western plains. Mr. Roosevelt's interest in history probably was inherited, but his fondness for outdoor life grew out of his grateful love for his foster mother—the green earth.It was during the quiet evenings, and the otherwise idle hours, spent at “Elkhorn," his Dakota ranch, that Theodore Roosevelt penned most of the fascinating pictures of frontier and ranch life that make up this present volume.ContentsPART I STORIES FROM HISTORYDANIEL BOONE AND THE FOUNDING OF KENTUCKYTHE BACKWOODSMEN OF THE ALLEGHANIES 1769-1774I.
