...wife Alice died in childbirth, and he headed west to the solace of the silent spaces of the North Dakota Territory. "Black care," he said, "rarely sits behind a rider whose pace is fast enough." There T.R. ran the Maltese Cross and Elkhorn cattle ranches (see color pages), rode the range beneath springtime stars and winter snow-dust, got sworn in as a deputy sheriff by Sheriff "Hell-Roaring Bill" Jones, and generally gathered in the feel of what he called "the masterful, overbearing spirit of the West ... the possession of which is certainly a most healthy sign...
Built at an estimated cost of $35 million, the Seagram monument is set back on a twin-fountained, granite and marble plaza that serves as its pedestal.
