  After political defeats and the loss of half his capital in a ranching venture in North Dakota, Theodore Roosevelt began writing his ambitious history of the conquest of the American West in 1888. This second volume illustrates his contention that no regular army could have prevailed in the border fighting, only toughened individual frontiersmen.
