Will Rogers heeded the call of adventure from the time he was very young. As a boy, he learned to ride and rope as well as anyone, and he dreamed of touching distant skies. As a man, he traveled the four corners of the globe with a grin on his face and a smile in his heart, and he never met a man he didn’t like. In Will Rogers, Frank Keating and Mike Wimmer sensitively capture Will Rogers’ humanity, voice, and spirit. A larger-than-life figure of the twentieth century, Will Rogers lived by his own rules of modesty, plain living, friendship, and family. His life was the American dream.
