Of the many forces that shaped Theodore Roosevelt the warrior, the hunter, the statesman, the historian, none was more important, none more enduring than the frontier experience. As an impressionable youth, Roosevelt followed his fertile and far-reaching interests from the confines of New York politics to the open range of stock raising, then on to the intellectual frontiers of history. In the process, this son of the East became one of the nation's foremost exponents of the values, ideals, and culture of the American West.

Collins has an exceptionally pleasant prose style, and he includes materials that will appeal to the general reader." (H. Roger Grant, South Dakota History)

He covers in interesting detail Roosevelt's years as a cowboy and touches on the development of his views on conservation, militarism, racism, and history. Collins' research is sound, his style pleasant. Both scholars and casual readers will benefit from 'That Damned Cowboy'." (James D. Bennett, Journal of the West)
