About the Book

Theodore Roosevelt reinvented the presidency for the twentieth century with his use of the bully pulpit and his emphasis on the square deal. In so doing he enlivened American politics and made the federal government relevant for the common man. This was nowhere more true than in the southwest which had provided his famous Rough Riders. A great many former Rough Riders gained political appointment in Arizona after Roosevelt became president. This book is about the unique relationship between Roosevelt and his Rough Riders in Arizona and how Arizona politics and Roosevelt’s administration and career were affected. Many of the characters are colorful and these true stories are rich in hope, humor, and humanity.
