Summary: A witty, realistic look at a very human TR in the Badlands
Comment: For those of you who don't like their history in dry textbook form, this is definitely the book for you. Manifest Destiny follows the adventures of a young Theodore Roosevelt in the Dakota Badlands as seen through the eyes of the local inhabitants. Sometimes a geek, sometimes a genuis, but always tough, the future President is a far cry from the Rough Rider throughout most of this book. An immature, rather spoiled, sickly young Eastern dude matures into manhood after losing both his first wife and political battles. The book chronicles TR's Dakota Badlands trips and the differences the locals notice in him each trip. The book is written as novel (and compares favorably with L'Amour for you Western fans) and is an excellent read. I only hope someday this book will be reprinted; I'd love to upgrade my tattered paperback copy. Until then, however, I'll treasure my paperback.
