Summary: First Rate! Sincere & Accurate.
Comment: These two Oklahomas haven't just written for merely commerical reasons. If you knew Keating & Wimmer, you would find two men who's lives truly reflect the values, humor and worldview of Rogers in ""American Legend" There may be other more exhaustive works on Rogers, but "American Legend" is great for those who want a reflective and finely illustrated portrayal of this storied personality. Our autographed copy will always occupy a special place in our home.

Summary: Keating's Attempt
Comment: Former Governor Frank Keating's book is obviously just an attempt to link his own name with that of Will Rogers. The book was poorly written, inaccurate, insensitive, and unnecessary. Innumberable books about Will are out there already - written with much more skill and knowledge. For adults, I would recommend Ben Yagoda's "Will Rogers: A Biography" (University of Oklahoma Press, 1993), and younger readers would enjoy Liz Sonneborn's "Will Rogers: Cherokee Entertainer" (Chelsea House Publishers, 1993). The irony of a politician trying to capitalize on Will's image even now is pretty funny.
Rating: 4
Summary: Introduces Children to Good Role Model
Comment: In today's world, entertainers seem to enjoy being negative and antagonistic. Will Rogers, through his humor, taught the value of all humanity and the desire to make the world a better place. And he seemed to enjoy himself as an entertainer and eagerly accepted the role as a spokesman for the common man. Keating's book serves as an excellent introduction for children to Rogers, a role model worthy of emulation. As Rogers once said, "Live your life so that when you loose, you are ahead."
