Excerpt from Roosevelt in the Bad Lands Medora (rechristened the Rough Riders on the ruins of the Maltese Cross cabin and under the mur muring cottonwoods at Elkhorn, they Spun their joyous yarns. Apart from what they had to tell, it was worth traveling two thirds across the Continent to come to know these figures of an heroic age; and to sit at Sylvane Ferris's side as he drove his Overland along the trails of the Bad Lands and through the quicksands of the Little Missouri, was in itself not an insignificant adventure. Mrs. Margaret Roberts, at Dickinson, had her own stories to tell; and in the wilderness forty miles west of Lake mcdonald, On the Idaho border, John Reuter, known to Roosevelt as Dutch Wan nigan, told, as no one else could, of the time he was nearly killed by the Marquis de Mores. A year later it was Schuyler Lebo who guided me in a further search for material, fifty miles south from Medora by buckboard through the wild, fantastic beauty of the Bad La'nds. I doubt if there is any one I missed who had anything to tell of Roosevelt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
