About this Item

Solid exlib reading copy hardcover in soiled pink cloth boards with black titles and silhouette drawing of a cowboy riding a rearing horse. Black title on backstrip along with some decorative border treatments. Tips and spine ends bumped and rubbed. 475 pp text all there but not pretty. Pocket and all pages present. Roosevelt in the Badlands chronicles the turbulent years Roosevelt spent as a rancher in the Badlands of Dakota Territory, following the sudden deaths on February 14, 1884, of his wife, two days after giving birth, and of his mother. Grief-stricken-and driven by doubts about his career after failed attempts as a reformer fighting political corruption-the young, Harvard-educated New York politician left his infant daughter in his sister's care and went to live on a Badlands ranch he had bought a year earlier.
