"Once upon a time in the dead of winter in the Dakota territory, Theodore Roosevelt took off in a
makeshift boat down the Little Missouri River in pursuit of a couple of thieves who had stolen his
prized rowboat. After several days on the river, he caught up and got the draw on them with his trusty
Winchester, at which point they surrendered.
Then Roosevelt set off in a borrowed wagon to haul the thieves cross-country to justice. They headed across
the snow-covered wastes of the Badlands to the railhead at Dickinson, and Roosevelt walked the whole way,
the entire 40 miles. It was an astonishing feat, what might be called a defining moment in Roosevelt's
eventful life.
But what makes it especially memorable is that during that time, he managed to read all of Anna
Karenina. I often think of that when I hear people say that they haven't time to read."
David McCullough in his essay No Time to Read?
