STORIES FROM THE WINNING OF THE WEST

1769 – 1807

By Theodore Roosevelt

1920

“It has been to me emphatically a labor of love to write of the great deeds of the border people.  I am not blind to their manifold shortcomings, nor yet am I ignorant of their many strong and good qualities.  For a number of years I spent most of my time on the frontier, and lived and worked like any other frontiersman.  The wild country in which we dwelt and across which we wandered was in the Far West; and there were, of course, many features in which the life of a cattleman on the Great Plains and among the Rockies differed from that led by a backwoodsman in the Allegheny forests a century before.  Yet the points of resemblance were far more numerous and striking.  We guarded our herds of branded cattle and shaggy horses, hunted bear, bison, elk and deer, established civil government, and put down evil-doers, white and red, on the banks of the Little Missouri and among the wooded, precipitous foot-hills of the Bighorn, exactly as did the pioneers who a hundred years previously built their log cabins beside the Kentucky or in the valleys of the Great Smokies.  The men who have shared in the fast-vanishing frontier life of the present feel a peculiar sympathy with the already long-vanished frontier life of the past.” T.R.  (Preface)
