Publisher's Summary:
A rollicking adventure starring a young Theodore Roosevelt.
In 1884, Teddy Roosevelts political career is dead in the water. A New York state assemblyman with eyes on national office, he finds his ambitions thwarted just months after his wife and infant daughter pass away. Frustrated by politics, he retires to the American West to ride, ranch, and hunt buffalo in the Dakota Badlands. Nobody tells him that the buffalo are gone.
He arrives in Dakota a greenhorn, awkward in the saddle and unused to Western clothes. But his aristocratic charm, natural intelligence, and love of nature impress the hardened frontiersmen, forming a bond that lasts the rest of their lives. When a wealthy French marquis threatens the pristine country he has fallen in love with, Roosevelt joins with the Dakotans to defend it. Before the presidency, before San Juan Hill, it was in Dakota that Theodore Roosevelt became a man.

Four Great Short Stories
I enjoyed all of the short stories in this book, although my favorite was The Jaren. I was hooked immediately by the characters and their emotions. In all of these stories, "man's inhumanity to man" transcends men to include other species from other planets as I believe it would if we settled elsewhere. Prejudice, racism, and man's belief in his own superiority are the issues encased in four completely different stories about life on other planets. Barry Longyear makes each character easy to empathize with and care about. I loved these stories. I was so glad to find the original "before the movie" version of Enemy Mine in this collection and I loved the story as much as I had loved the movie.
The stories are fantastic. The print quality is atrocious
The stories are fantastic.
The print quality is atrocious. The letters and words are, quite literally, photocopies of the paperback printed onto trade paperback pages.
And poor quality photocopies at that, being very fuzzy/not crisp.
Manifest Destiny
Very interesting and spell binding adventure story of T. Roosevelt during his Montana ranching days. Mostly historically accurate with a little authors creative art. I have read it twice and have loaned it to several friends. Very uplifting adventure story. Dana in Colorado
