TR once remarked that if it were not for his formative years in Dakota, still then the wild west, that he would not have been President.

Here is a wealthy, educated and connected man, who in profound irony seeks out a world that could not be more diametrically opposed. Yet, from earning the respect of his fellow cowboys who initially distrust anemic four eyed city slicker from the East whose initial goal is to kill a buffalo, to pursing and capturing a gang of bandits down the Little Missouri in blizzard conditions, TR rises to the challenge in this proving ground.

A must read adventure story of our 26th President. His experience in the Badlands gives immense insight to his character and is essential to understanding the man and legacy that is TR.
