Download or read book Will Rogers written by Betty Rogers and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Will Rogers and His America written by Gary Clayton Anderson and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born on a farm in the Cherokee Nation near present Oologah, Oklahoma, in 1879, Will Rogers shared his rural, agricultural beginnings with many Americans at the turn of the century. But Rogers brought his small-town talents to a national audience, becoming a mainstay of early American mass culture. Although Rogers is remembered today for his success in vaudeville and the nascent American film industry, history has largely forgotten his considerable influence as a political commentator, an aspect of Rogers’s life that Gary Clayton Anderson explores at length in this brief but complete biography. Rogers’s contributions to early American mass culture, the catalog of powerful personages that he counted among his friends, and his extensive writings about the political issues of the day make Rogers an ideal figure through which to explore the American interwar period. High school and college students will relate well to Rogers, whose political opinions evolved as he gained exposure to people, places, organizations, and ideas beyond rural Oklahoma. Rogers’s conflicted relationship with his indigenous American heritage also provides a window on the history of race relations in America. This paperback edition includes a new afterword by the author, along with study and discussion questions for every chapter.

Download or read book Will Rogers for President written by Charley Green and published by Cr Green & Associates. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WILL ROGERS 1879-1935 The consideration of Will Rogers as a candidate for President of the United States in 1928 was more of a symbolic gesture acknowledging his spirit, insight and honesty. Will had the ability to accurately interpret the political and economic events of the day; events which in many ways relate to our own upcoming elections. His humor with an occasional sarcastic remark thrown in, kept folk's attention giving them a reason to stay informed. Will Rogers had a remarkable career that went from Oklahoma "cowpuncher" to international star. He embodied the heart and soul of this nation at a time when a fresh voice, clear eyes and spoken truth were needed. This simple plain-spoken man who was part Cherokee Indian and a former cowboy became the voice of a nation during the '20s and '30s. His writings, quotes and speaking engagements were directed toward the political arena, as well as other events of the time. Strange as it seems, most of those pearls of wisdom are just as relevant today as they were in Will's day. It is my intent to give you folks a point of reference that may apply to some political happening today as well as a useable quote you may toss out to liven up a conversation or speech. Will liked people and never forgot his roots. He was able to connect with folks in a way most politicians, heads of states and those in high places could not. In many cases, politicians were more interested in their own AGENDA instead of the people who helped get them elected. Some things haven't changed and it seems as if certain principles are embedded in our political system for all times. Through his message and style of delivery, he conveyed to the entire nation what was really going on in the heart of the country. As a result of ability to connect with people, his compassion for values and principles, Rogers was accepted, respected, trusted and honored throughout the world from the common man to royalty. The intent of this booklet is to present in an interview format a quick read and reference. Will's timeless philosophy, as well as insights into political life from yesteryear presented as they apply to today's events. These golden nuggets and guiding thoughts will be something you can relate to, learn from as well as sharing with others, possibly opening up certain areas for cussing or discussing. The topics covered are introduced by a question then answered with one of Candidate Rogers' insightful Thoughts, Quotes & Anecdotes in understandable terms and concepts that make sense, common sense. Enjoy the timeless sayings and expressions of Will Rogers presented in this booklet. My goal is to put a smile on your face, possibly some insight into the ever changing and in many ways, never changing world of Elections & Politics.
