Those who are interested in the novel and picturesque character of
the cowboy and the cattlemen, will find much that is pleasing in
Mr. Roosevelt's faithful description. The cattle country has been
treated in an almost historic manner; the author carries the reader
into the quaint ranch life of the West with an ease that makes him
revel, for the time, in the glories of the mud-chinked cabins and
humble fare, until the song of the meadow lark is the sweetest
sound in the world. The sportsman will be more interested in
following Mr. Roosevelt in pursuit of the big-horn sheep, the white
goat or the pronghorn; and no reader who has hunted in the West
will question the accuracy of scene or incident. The author has
gone even further than merely to narrate his hunting experiences,
for the game that he hunts is also classified from the standpoint
of the naturalist. The book is pleasing to the eye, and special
efforts in this direction have been made in having it illustrated
by Frederick Remington. This book is worthy of a place in any
sportsman's library. -Rollin E. Smith. The Sportsman's Magazine,
1897
