| On February 4, 1884, when Roosevelt was 25, his wife Alice Lee Roosevelt died shortly after giving birth to his daughter, also named Alice. On the same day, his mother died of typhoid fever. Roosevelt went west to run two small cattle ranches in the Dakota Territory. For two years he worked as a cowboy, spending 14 to 16 hours a day in the saddle. During that time, he also completed a biography of Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton and wrote a four-volume series called The Winning of the West. | ||||||
