Medora, N.D.(2012)
by Sletten, Rolf; Cody Sletten
Medora, N.D.(2012): Theodore Roosevelt Foundation. Large Oblong Quarto. 197p. illustrations (some in color). Medora, North Dakota was the won where Two-Gun Billy Roberts and other gunfighters shared their lust for gold and money with cowboys, buffalo hunters, gamblers and railroaders. It was here that Theodore Roosevelt at age twenty-four stepped off the train and came to shoot a buffalo and biuld two ranches, the Maltese Cross and Elkhorn. This fine book with many illustrations (including unearthed artifacts) tells of its rise and fall and where Elbridge G. Paddock rose to become the most feared man in the Badlands. A very small print run has made this a book which quickly went out of print. Bound in dark brown pictorial gilt leather-like cloth, spine gilt. A fine copy in near fine pictorial dust jacket.
