Well Rounded View of Will Rogers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago

It was quite interesting to get the family's view of life with Will. This book is a wonderful addition to my library of Will Rogers books, rounding out the public image from the other books, with a private viewpoint in this book.
