Written in the late nineteenth century and first published in
Harper's Round Table magazine in 1896, this collection of articles
details turn-of-the-century America's rugged wilderness. Good
Hunting is an engaging read for those whose interests lie in
hunting sports, and nature. Roosevelt, being the first president to
begin many of the national park conservation programs in
twentieth-century America, was a lover of the outdoors, and his
writings are filled with notations and observations of the lands
that he explored. From hunting elks, wolves, and bucks, Roosevelt
provides stunning insight into some of northwestern America's most
well-known inhabitants. Good Hunting is a fascinating historical
portal through which we can view a celebrated sportsman, president,
and keen observer of the outdoors. The seven chapters in this book
range from classic hunting articles, memorable anecdotes from other
outdoorsmen, and even a detailed piece on the specifics of ranching
a topic of much interest at the turn of the century. This is a
classic read for anyone wanting to learn more about a man who was
so loved by a country, and to escape to the America of yesteryear.

Teddy Roosevelt lived a full and accomplished life and shared many
of his beliefs in this book, in which he tells how to live life to
its most productive and fullest.
Written during his days as a ranchman in the Dakota Bad Lands, these two wilderness tales by Theodore Roosevelt endure today as part of the classic folklore of the West. The narratives provide vivid portraits of the land as well as the people and animals that inhabited it, underscoring Roosevelt's abiding concerns as a naturalist.
Originally published in 1885, Hunting Trips of a Ranchman chronicles Roosevelt's adventures tracking a twelve-hundred-pound grizzly bear in the pine forests of the Bighorn Mountains. Yet some of the best sections are those in which Roosevelt muses on the beauty of the Bad Lands and the simple pleasures of ranch life. The British Spectator said the book "could claim an honorable place on the same shelf as Walton's Compleat Angler." The Wilderness Hunter, which came out in 1893, remains perhaps the most detailed account of the grizzly bear ever recorded. Introduction by Stephen E. Ambrose.
The acclaimed autobiography of Theodore 'Teddy' Roosevelt is
brought to the reader anew in this well-produced edition, inclusive
of all notes and appendices. Written over years and published in
1913, this lengthy yet engrossing biography sees one of the United
States finest Presidents recount his life in his own words.
Theodore Roosevelt sets out events in a way which clarify how he
came to possess his beliefs. We hear of his love of the great
outdoors which would in turn result in the establishment of
America's national parks, and his belief in commerce as an engine
for progress which would lead to the state-sponsored construction
of the Panama Canal during his presidency. Seldom straying to
dryness or heady description of the many and varied events of his
life, Theodore Roosevelt instead imbues every chapter with keynote
personality and liveliness. Personal letters with influential
figures are shared, placing the reader deep in the political world
which this popular, charismatic leader was immersed.
"The Rough Riders," by Theodore Roosevelt, is the author's memoir
of his experiences as part of the First United States Volunteer
Cavalry during the Spanish-American War. The book's title comes
from the nickname earned by the unit. Originally published in 1899,
the book is Roosevelt's account of the recruitment and training of
the Rough Riders, their voyage to Cuba, their battles, and their
return home. Much of the book concerns what, in Roosevelt's
opinion, makes for good soldiers and good leaders. Although the
book first appeared over a century ago, many of Roosevelt's
observations are startlingly relevant to contemporary warfare; he
discusses wartime refugees, guerrilla warfare, wartime atrocities,
and battlefield news correspondents. Other topics covered include
illness among the troops and the impact of weather and terrain on
warfare. He also discusses occasional humorous material, such as
the nicknames some soldiers earned. Roosevelt includes fascinating
technical details about the weapons of this era. Although he
frankly discusses the violence, wounds, and deaths of the
battlefield, the book gives the impression that Roosevelt saw war
as a grand adventure-even fun on a certain level. The writing style
is very engaging and has a clear, matter-of-fact quality.
Roosevelt's admiration and love for his troops ultimately gives the
book a real warmth and humanity, making Rough Riders truly a
landmark in the rich canon of American military memoirs.
Through the Brazilian Wilderness is Theodore Roosevelt's
biographical account of hunting, camping and "zoogeographical
reconnaissance" with his son Kermit in the Brazilian jungle.
Following his presidency, he set out on an expedition to explore
and map unknown regions of Paraguay and Brazil on the 950-mile
River of Doubt, a previously unexplored tributary of the Amazon
River. For six weeks Roosevelt and his party paddled and carried
canoes down the 950-mile river now called the Rio Roosevelt. Men
died, boats were lost, food became scarce, fever borne by insects
sickened many in the party which led to Roosevelt's death five
years later. The expedition collected thousands of species of birds
and mammals. Roosevelt admired those who lived life with passion
and for what he called "the Great Adventure." The story of his
expedition, as chronicled in Through the Brazilian Wilderness,
tells one of Roosevelt's last great. Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was
the 26th President of the United States. He is noted for his
energetic personality, range of interests and achievements,
leadership of the Progressive Movement, and his "cowboy" image and
robust masculinity. He was a leader of the Republican Party and
founder of the short-lived Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party of
1912. Roosevelt's achievements as a naturalist, explorer, hunter,
author, and soldier are as much a part of his fame as any office he
held as a politician.
