Acknowledgments

I
t gives me pleasure to acknowledge, with great gratitude, the invaluable assistance provided by Todd Strand and the other archivists who keep track of the Roosevelt and De Morès collections at the State Historical Society of North Dakota, North Dakota Heritage Center, Bismarck; by the people of Medora, North Dakota; by the staff of the De Morès château; by the Rangers of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, including Denise Heidecker of the National Park Service who indulged my foolishness by agreeing to take a picture of me in front of Theodore Roosevelt's cabin; all the memoirists, acquaintances, reporters, historians and biographers (see Bibliography) who made my work possible by writing in such extensive detail about Theodore Roosevelt and his days in Dakota Territory; and—indispensibly and most generously—by Dr. John Gable, director of the Theodore Roosevelt Association at Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York.

For help in preparing the manuscript I am happy to thank Bina Garfield, Jane Cushman, Sara Ann Freed and Otto Penzler. And finally, for generous, thorough and brilliant editorial assistance far beyond the call of friendship or professional duty, I am indebted beyond words to Dori Gores.
