Originally published in 1894 prior to his presidency, this is Roosevelt's sweeping saga of the settling of the West, from the Lewis and Clark expedition to the statehood of Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee. Theodore Roosevelt was a writer, naturalist, soldier and 26th President of the United States. His military exploits and his love of nature are well known. While spending 2 years at his ranch in the badlands of the Dakotas, Roosevelt became increasingly aware of the environment and the need to preserve it. The Winning of the West is a 4 volume set covering the years from 1769 to 1807. Although Roosevelt is not always an unbiased historian, his writing in this first volume is full of descriptions and adventure sure to captivate the reader.
Defeated politically and running out of money after a ranch deal gone bad, Theodore Roosevelt began writing his epic history of the conquest of the American West in 1888. He wove a sweeping drama, well documented and filled to the brim with Americans fighting Indian confederacies in the north and south while dealing with the machinations of the British, French, and Spanish and their sympathizers. Roosevelt wanted to show how backwoodsmen such as Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton, followed by hardy pioneer settlers, won the United States the claim to land west of the Alleghenies.
Heroism and treachery among both the whites and the Indians can be seen in his rapidly shifting story of a people on the move in pursuit of their manifest destiny. By force and by treaty the new nation was established in the East, and when the explorers and settlers pushed against the Mississippi, everything west of the river was considered part of that nation.
This complete set is a must have for anyone...
