A Splendid Savage: The Restless Life of Frederick Russell Burnham

bySteve Kemper

A Splendid Savage examines the Restless Life of Frederick Russell Burnham, combining Steve Kemper's clear narrative with the perspective of a biographical portrait. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of biography & autobiography. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
