TR’s Elkhorn Ranch

On this week’s CBS Sunday Morning show, there was a great feature on Theodore Roosevelt’s Elkhorn Ranch that was located in the Badlands of South Dakota.  The six and a half minute video gives an excellent overview of TR’s time in the West and how those formative experiences helped to shape the remainder of his fascinating life.

As discussed in previous blog posts (here and here), if you want to learn more about TR’s time as a Badland’s ranchman, I recommend both Theodore Roosevelt in the Badlands by Silvestro or the autobiographical Hunting Trips of a Ranchman by the man himself.
