In 1909, the Smithsonian Institution commissioned ex-President
Theodore Roosevelt to collect specimens of African wildlife for the
National Museum. Roosevelt went to Africa with his son Kermit,
several prominent naturalists, and many journalists, thereby
initiating the safari industry and setting the standard for the big
game hunt. Yet Roosevelt never killed for thrills, instead hunting
only specific animals in the amounts requested by the Smithsonian.
Making his way from the Kenyan coast to the Upper Nile, he records
his impressions of the African landscape, witnesses a traditional
lion hunt by African pastoralists, and recalls his meetings with
East Africans, to whom he was known as 'Bwana Tumbo (belly).'
