Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. George Carsillo (Jacket illustration) (illustrator). First Edition, First Printing. [8], 408 pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. From the Dust Jacket: A True Romantic Saga of Young Theodore Roosevelt. The author states: "This book is a novel about real people and real events. It relates a true story--by Herodotus's rules. Every person names in the book was real, except for a hotel guest who was a fictitious invention. A few characters are also composites of more than one real person." The novel compresses an actual five year period into one of two years duration. The letter from the Marquis De Mores, challenging Theodore Roosevelt to a duel, is genuine, as are Roosevelt's reply and choice of weapons. Some of the more outlandish characters can be found in the pages of Roosevelt's Autobiography. The author further states that "this novel aims to be a dramatized homage to history rather than an unblemished factual record." Brian Francis Wynne Garfield (born January 26, 1939) is an American novelist and screenwriter. He wrote his first published book at the age of eighteen and wrote several novels under such pen names as "Frank Wynne" and "'Brian Wynne" before gaining prominence when his book Hopscotch (1975) won the 1976 Edgar Award for Best Novel. He is best known for his 1972 novel Death Wish, which was adapted for the 1974 film of the same title, followed by four sequels, and an upcoming remake. His follow-up 1975 sequel to Death Wish, Death Sentence, was very loosely adapted into a film of the same name which was released to theaters in late 2007, though an entirely different storyline, but with the novel's same look on vigilantism. Garfield is also the author of The Thousand-Mile War: World War II in Alaska and the Aleutians, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for History. Garfield's latest book, published in 2007, is Meinertzhagen, the biography of controversial British intelligence officer Richard Meinertzhagen. Garfield is the nephew of chorus dancer and stage manager Chester O'Brien. The author of more than seventy books, Brian Garfield is one of the country's most prolific writes of thrillers, westerns and other genre fiction. After time in the Army, a few years touring with a jazz band, and a Master's Degree from the University of Arizona, he settled into writing full time. Garfield is a past president of the Mystery Writers of America and the Western Writers of America, and the only author to have held both offices. Nineteen of his novels have been made into films, including Death Wish (1972), The Last Hard Men (1976) and Hopscotch (1975), for which he wrote the screenplay. To date, his novels have sold over twenty million copies worldwide. In 1884, Teddy Roosevelt's political career is dead in the water. A New York state assemblyman with eyes on national office, he finds his ambitions thwarted just months after his wife and infant daughter pass away. Frustrated by politics, he retires to the American West to ride, ranch, and hunt buffalo in the Dakota Badlands. Nobody tells him that the buffalo are gone. He arrives in Dakota a greenhorn, awkward in the saddle and unused to Western clothes. But his aristocratic charm, natural intelligence, and love of nature impress the hardened frontiersmen, forming a bond that lasts the rest of their lives. When a wealthy French marquis threatens the pristine country he has fallen in love with, Roosevelt joins with the Dakotans to defend it. Before the presidency, before San Juan Hill, it was in Dakota that Theodore Roosevelt became a man.
