Description: "Just as essential to Theodore Roosevelt's accession to the Presidency as his charge up San Juan Hill was his election as Governor of New York four months later. A defeat would have seriously set back and perhaps even destroyed his chances to gain the White House. Yet, until A Rough Ride To Albany, no book has devoted itself primarily to describing that hard-fought uphill campaign.".

"The book also explains how Roosevelt had to balance his commitment to reform with the positions of New York's Republican leadership which did not share many of his priorities. It thus provides lessons that are just as relevant today as they were more than one hundred years ago."--BOOK JACKET.
