OverviewBefore Theodore Roosevelt became one of America's most prominent presidents, a legendary outdoorsman, Badlands rancher, Rough Rider, trust buster, and political maverick, he was a thin pale youngster with bad eyes and a weak heart, said William Wingate Sewall, the Maine woodsman who became Roosevelt's mentor and lifelong friend. In this latest book from award-winning author Andrew Vietze comes the untold story of the relationship between two men of completely different backgrounds. One was a privileged statesman who eventually moved into the White House and the other was a lumberman that lived in a farmhouse in Aroostook County, Maine. Becoming Teddy Roosevelt describes the friendship of Roosevelt and Sewall and explores how that bond changed Roosevelt (and the nation) and why it matters today.
