This book is intimately related to the course “Will Rogers’ America.” However, instead of this being a historical biography, it is instead more of a personal account of Will’s life from his wife’s point of view. I felt I learned a great deal from hearing her side of the story, and who better to know Will than herself? Every argument was convincing considering Betty gave personal evidence to back it up with. It was also well supported with several letters and newspaper clippings, even if they were not cited. This book was not meant to be an academic one, but instead an intimate view of Will’s life from her own perspective. I do, however, feel like I have gained a more personal knowledge of Will after reading this book.
