Filled with Will Rogers's own timeless quotes, this picture book tells the story of a great maverick who lived the American dream.Governor Frank Keating of Oklahoma and award-winning illustrator Mike Wimmer bring to life a role model--and one of Oklahoma's favorite sons--who was quick on his trusty steed but even quicker with his wits.
