About this book

Roosevelt in the Bad Lands is a book by Hermann Hagedorn. A caption places Theodore Roosevelt on the round-up, 1885. The text says it was still the Wild West in those days, the Far West, the West of Owen Wister's stories and Frederic Remington's drawings.

French-Canadian voyageurs, a century previous, found the weather-washed ravines wicked to travel through, and the name clung. The town of Little Missouri consisted of a group of primitive buildings scattered about the shack which did duty as a railroad station. A host tells Roosevelt he will have to put a man in with him for the night, and Roosevelt answers coolly that he is not going to have him come in. Roosevelt whispers to a cowboy guest named Jim that shooting at the feet of the British Ambassador to make him dance would be likely to cause international complications.
