Of the many books written about Will Rogers, none can have the immediacy, firsthand knowledge, and personal perspective of this account by his wife, Betty Blake Rogers. Her story is of Will Rogers, from wayward youth to international celebrity. Will was born in 1879 in the Cherokee nation of Indian Territory, near what is now Oologah, and died in 1935 with Wiley Post in an airplane crash in Alaska. The period witnessed the passing of the frontier and the arrival of the air age, and Will Rogers became a unique part and interpreter of it all. "The book offers a ’unique insight’ into the Oklahoma cowboy who became a worldwide celebrity. Betty Rogers understood Will as no one else could, and her book amplifies the importance of a homegrown philosopher who captured the spirit of the American experience. Cowboy, showman, homespun pundit-Will left his mark in many ways, each of which is carefully developed in the book’s twenty-two chapters. Most notable, however, is Mrs. Rogers’s treatment of her husband’s character. Behind the facade lay a complex man who, despite his lack of formal education, had a grasp of modern psychology and world politics. Equally at home with cowboys and presidents, Will accepted both as human beings engaged in the larger arena of life, whether in the wide open spaces of Oklahoma or the confines of Washington....For those who would know Will Rogers in a familiar way, there is no better book than this reprint." Arizona and the West. "The best of all the books on the best of all the homespun philosophers as seen through the eyes of his wife." Midwest Book Review. "Folksy, detailed and loving, it offers a timeless glimpse at a real American hero of his time-and ours." American Way.

"For sheer magnetism there never was another personality on the American scene to match Will Rogers. The cowboy philosopher, they called him. He said things that made people think hard and laugh at the same time. A top attraction in movies and a star on radio, he was also a widely read and much-quoted columnist and writer whose wryly humorous observations on ordinary life, especially politics, found an audience of millions." "But he was much more than America's best-loved entertainer. That homey, confiding way of his charmed folks everywhere so that without even trying Will became everybody's favorite neighbor. He wasn't just listened to and admired. He was dearly loved for just being himself." "Then suddenly in the summer of 1935 came the shocking news - Will Rogers was dead. Only fifty-five, at the height of his immense fame, he was killed in the crash of a small plane on the lonely shore of the Arctic Ocean in northernmost Alaska. It was one of the saddest deaths in show business annals, and on the very evening that Will crashed to his death, his loving daughter Mary was on stage back East, acting in a play about a plane crash. The awful coincidence drove her to end her promising career." "Drawing on extensive original research, author John Walsh recounts the whole tragic story with an unprecedented wealth of new detail that brings the crash and all that preceded and followed it to vivid, dramatic life in a compelling narrative." "Here is the definitive treatment of one of the country's true tragedies, including a moving portrait of the unfortunate Mary and a full discussion and analysis of the cause of the crash."--BOOK JACKET.
