MI. Roosevelt found opportunity 10
make half a hundred expeditions into
the wild heart of the West, TO tur''
cowboy, ranchman and hunt-r of big
game, and to become more familiar,
perhaps. WIN the rugged and stall
wart democracy of the pioneer from
tiersman than any other Eastern man.
He built log house on the banks of
the Little Missouri, among the butteS
and Bad Lands of northwestern Da-
kota, working on it with his own
: hands. 1t was a low, rough building,
with a wide veranda, shaded by leafy
cottonwoods, and SO far from the
, bounds of civilization that Mr.. Roose-
welt tells of shooting a deer from the
front door Here. in a flannel shirt,
and overalls tucked into alligator
boots, he worked side by side with his
cowboys during many an exciting
roundup, coming home TO sleep on
bcarskins and buffalo robes, trophies
Y OF his skill as a hunter.
. Here, too, he kept the favoriIe books
g a ranohman, the works of Fenimure
Cooper-who has touched the life If
the pioneer more closely than any 9TH
, er writer Mr.. Roosevelt thinks-many
books on hunting, trapping and natu-
raj history, and the works of Irving.
Hawthorne, Lowell, Poe and a few
other American writer's. In speaking
of Poe, Mr.. Roosevelt says: when
one is in the Bad Lands he feels as it
they somehow look just exactly cts
Poe's tales and poems sound"
y 'One of Mr.. Roosevelt's experiences
in the West gave the cowboys a very
high opinion of his determination, and
forever blotted out the implication
that he was tenderfoot. Cattle had
been stolen from his ranch. He fol-
lowed the thieves with unfaltering per
S tinacity for two weeks, and finally
: captured three of them and had them
sent to the penitentiary at Mandan
for terms of three years. He hunted
and shot with all the keen zeal Of
lover of the wilderness He killed
} as a sportsman, not to make record
for killing, and usually only when his
|, camp needed food.
!, In the midst of his intensely active
1 life Mr.. Roosevelt has found time to
s do considerable literary work. The
