Nearly four decades after his death, people still recall the shy grin, the easy manner, the total absence of sham, and above all, the way he had of putting things that went to the very heart of the matter. He was, in the first place, a direct link to the original Americans ~ the Indians ~ and to the frontier that determined so much of the nation's history. He was also, as has often been said, the most beloved figure of his time. Americans became acquainted with him in a variety of ways ~ as a performer in vaudville and the Ziegfeld Follies, in silent and talking pictures ( movies ), and radio; as the newspaper columnist whose down to earth, spontaneous humor were the first words they turned to and chuckled over each morning. In the end, the news of Will Rogers' sudden death in an airplane crash made the kind of headlines reserved for the world's great, and the sense of loss was as keen abroad as it was in the land of his birth." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This is a Biography and thorough examination of one of America's most beloved characters. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This book would be nice for any Fan, Historian, Collector, or for anyone interested in History, Native Americana, Western Americana, Movies, Humor, or the Life of a Fascinating Man!!
