"Thomas Hart Benton" by Theodore Roosevelt is a biography chronicling the life and career of the influential Missouri senator. The book begins by painting a vivid picture of the American West in its early days, a land of pioneers pushing westward and forging new states like Kentucky and Tennessee. These were tough, adventurous people from all walks of life, united by a common dream of building a new nation. Against this backdrop of rapid change and frontier expansion, the author introduces Benton as a key figure, shaped by and helping to shape the issues facing the growing country. This includes dealing with frontier settlements, creating effective governance, and establishing the nation's evolving identity as it stretches westward.
