Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail records what Roosevelt saw, heard and did through the course of the two years that Roosevelt spent in North Dakota.The book is filled with fascinating tales such as serving for a short time as a deputy sheriff pursuing horse thieves, survive herd-killing blizzards and suffocating heat, hunting mountain goats, antelope and bighorn sheep to survive through the winter, as well as much more.Roosevelt felt very aware that the world of the far west was changing as the country became more industrialized and so sought to record the lives of the trappers, bronco-busters, desperadoes and mule-skinners, the Indians, horse thieves and vigilantes before their world completely vanished.“Ranch Life And The Hunting Trail is an evocative souvenir of a simpler America, written by the man who a few years later helped propel the country along the road to Empire.” Kirkus Reviews“the author carries the reader into the quaint ranch life of the West with an ease that makes him revel, for the time, in the glories of the mud-chinked cabins and humble fare, until the song of the meadow lark is the sweetest sound in the world.” Rollin E.

See nobody ever told me how much of a bitch Karma was or the fact that the bitch worked her own hours and days. She may not hit you right away but when she do finally catch up to your ass she charge double of what you owe her plus federal and state tax. She may make you pay for all your shit at once or she may even charge you for one incident at a time. It’s no telling with the bitch. Even if you do more good than bad, the bitch don’t forget the bad. Don’t get me wrong she still repay you for the good but that hoe still make you pay for all the bad like you aint never did no good. My mother raised me to respect women and I did; I never treated any female less than what she deserved. I treated them all the way they allowed me to treat them and honestly I didn’t see no wrong in it growing up. I never called any of them out of their name until I met the bitch karma, she just surprised the hell out of me the way she came back into my life. I had multiple run INS with her before growing up but I understood why and considered each of our other altercations justified. I didn’t expect she’d be the one I fall in love with, or she’d be the one I say “I Do” to.
