Will Rogers: Courtship & Correspondence 1900-1915

Nearly sixty years after his death, the name of Will Rogers is still magic. His observations on politics and human nature were profound and original, his talent enormous.

A one-man entertainment industry, he made over seventy movies and wrote a daily column syndicated in more than 450 newspapers. He was the most widely listened to radio performer of his day as well as its most popular after-dinner speaker. During the Great Depression, he was the voice of America's helpless and homeless and the conscience of the country's political leadership.

Where does a man like Will Rogers come from?

This book answers that question in the words of the "Indian Cowboy" himself, in letters never before made public.
