Jim Fuglie lavishes Rolf Sletten’s Medora: Boom, Bust, and Resurrection with praise in his brief review. Fuglie lists some of the familiar Badlands characters who make appearances, and he focuses on the efforts of North Dakota businessman Harold Lyle Schafer to bring Medora, North Dakota, back to life as a tourist destination. The book’s front cover illustration, two photographs of Theodore Roosevelt’s Maltese Cross cabin, two photographs of landmark buildings in Medora rebuilt by Schafer, and a letter from Roosevelt to his first wife Alice Lee Roosevelt enhance the essay.
