Description

A sickly Harvard student. A Maine Guide. And a friendship that changed a man – who changed a nation.

Today we bring to mind Theodore Roosevelt as a larger-than-life figure, but before he became a legendary outdoorsman, Badlands rancher, Rough Rider, agree with buster, and political maverick, he was once a “thin pale youngster with bad eyes and a weak heart,” within the words of William Wingate Sewall, the upcountry Maine woodsman who would change into Roosevelt’s mentor and lifelong friend. The two met at a the most important time in Roosevelt’s life, and Sewall exerted a quiet but profound influence at the man who would change into The usa’s twenty-sixth President. That is the untold story in their friendship – and the many adventures they shared.
