Becoming Teddy Roosevelt

<P>When Theodore Roosevelt went into the Maine Woods with legendary Maine guide Bill Sewall he was a sickly asthmatic city boy. When he emerged several trips later he was a robust confident outdoorsman—the kind of man who could be president. This book describes the lifelong friendship between the twenty-sixth president and the lumberman from Island Falls and explores how that bond changed Roosevelt (and the nation) and why it matters today</P>
