After the inconceivable double tragedy suffered by Roosevelt on February 14th, 1884 when both his young wife and mother died on the same day, in the same house in New York City, the emotionally shattered young legislator headed to the Dakota territory he had first discovered on a buffalo hunt the previous year. There he invested in and eventually established two ranches - one called "The Maltese Cross" and thereafter, another around 35 miles north of Medora, North Dakota, "The Elkhorn", where Roosevelt ran 1000 head of cattle.
