He was born a city boy in Manhattan; but it wasn’t until he lived as a cattle rancher and deputy sheriff in the wild country of the Dakota Territory that Theodore Roosevelt became the man who would be president. Author William Hazelgrove uses Roosevelt’s own reflections to immerse the audience in the formative seasons that America’s twenty-sixth president spent in “the broken country” of the Wild West. Registration required.
