Description

The Cowboy President: The American West and the Making of Theodore Roosevelt reveals how his time spent in the Western Dakota Territory helped him recover from an overwhelming personal loss, but more importantly, how it transformed him into the man etched onto Mount Rushmore, a man who is still rated as one of the top five Presidents in American history. Unlike other Roosevelt biographies, The Cowboy President details how the land, the people and the Western code of honor had an enormous impact on Theodore and how this experience influenced him in his later years.

If you like biographies of presidents then this is for you. The author skips over many well known parts Roosevelt's life and concentrates on those parts dealing with his outdoor adventures. It is well written but badly edited, which I assume will be fixed prior to publication. Roosevelt meets and befriends many larger-than-life characters and the author brings them to life. Easy to read.
