Having spent the last three years researching and writing my book on Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders, I wanted to visit the site of his Elkhorn Ranch on the scenic Little Missouri River. After reading aloud from TR's Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail (just me and the rustling leaves of the cottonwood trees), I placed my book on one of the ranch house's large foundation stones and snapped this photo. #roughriders #theodoreroosevelt #litsy
