Synopsis

When he learns that President McKinley is dying from an assassin’s bullet, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt decides that before he can assume the presidency, he must suppress a dangerous secret from his past a secret that could cripple his ability to govern the United States; a secret that could tarnish his otherwise spotless reputation. Did he really cross paths with Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid fifteen years earlier in 1886 Montana? When Roosevelt sees Bat Masterson, the soon-to-become president enlists his help, disclosing the untold events and assigning him the task of managing the potential scandal. Will Masterson be able to pull all the threads together and keep the secret hidden from the American public?

From the Back Cover

Untarnished Reputation is an engrossing tale written in the style of Theodore Roosevelt's adventure journal, Hunting Trips of a Ranchman. Mr. Row has wedded several theories having to do with the now-infamous Hunters Hot Springs group photograph. He has spun them nicely into an intriguing fictional interpretation of how and why a soon-to-be president Roosevelt in 1901 might have sought the secret service of Bat Masterson to cover up a fifteen-year-old scandal. Butch Cassidy, Sundance and Etta, Virgil and Wyatt Earp, and other well-known lawmen and outlaws too numerous to mention figure prominently in this Old West story of honor and reputation. A rollicking good yarn follows two timelines, one told from the point of view of a young Teddy Roosevelt. Very entertaining, and certainly it's a must-read for TR fans, or for anyone who has ever seen a copy of the Hunters Hot Springs group photo!
