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.

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.
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.
Originally published in 1885, This fascinating work on Hunting
Trips of a Ranchman is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the
bookshelf of all who are interested in Hunting. Its chapters
include; The wordly buffallo, A trip on the prairie and The black
tail deer. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.

We are, as a whole, still in that low state of civilization
where we do not understand that it is also vandalism wantonly to
destroy or to permit the destruction of what is beautiful in
nature, whether it be a cliff, a forest, or a species of mammal or
bird. Here in the United States we turn our rivers and streams into
sewers and dumping-grounds, we pollute the air, we destroy forests,
and exterminate fishes, birds and mammals not to speak of
vulgarizing charming landscapes with hideous advertisements. But at
last it looks as if our people were awakening. on Natural
Resources
The public life of Theodore Roosevelt (1858 1919) was marked by
his service as the twenty-sixth President of the United States,
Vice President, Governor of New York State, Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, U.S. Civil Service Commissioner, President of the New
York City Police Commission, and New York State Assemblyman. In his
life outside of government he was famous as an author, naturalist,
rancher, big game hunter, and explorer. The twentieth century would
become known as the American Century, and it was Theodore
Roosevelt, through his foreign policy, who ushered the United
States into the ranks of the world's great powers. In domestic
affairs, he used his presidential powers to level the playing field
between capital and labor, to protect consumers, and to establish a
conservation program that was far-sighted and comprehensive,
covering the nation's natural resources, its wilderness areas, its
endangered species, its scenic beauty, and the cultural artifacts
of its indigenous peoples.
Distilled from Roosevelt s voluminous writings and speeches, In
the Words of Theodore Roosevelt is a discerning collection of
quotations by this American icon who continues to inspire and
captivate an extraordinary array of twenty-first-century Americans.
Carefully selected and organized by topic by Patricia O Toole,
these quotations reflect the vast range of Roosevelt s interests,
the depth of his wisdom, his almost superhuman energy, and his
directness. Many of the issues that Roosevelt addressed from
America s international role to the environment remain pressing
concerns today, giving his century-old words remarkable currency.
This singular collection of quotations enhanced by O Toole s
illuminating introductory essay, notes on biographical and
historical context, and bibliographies of Roosevelt s writings is a
trove for writers, teachers, students, and all who recognize
Theodore Roosevelt s unique role in U.S. history."

The Master of Game Edward of Norwich. Edited by William A. and F.
N. Baillie-Grohman. Foreword by Theodore Roosevelt "Of exceptional
interest for the light shed on the ethos, style, and tastes of the
secular aristocracy of the later Middle Ages. . . . A real boon to
the historian. . . . For those of us who still admire and cherish
the huntsman's now threatened world, "The Master of Game" has a
particular appeal."--"London Review of Books" "The Master of Game"
is the oldest and most important work on the chase in the English
language. Based primarily on Gaston de Foix's "Livre de chasse,"
originally composed in 1387, "The Master of Game" was written by
Edward of Norwich at his leisure between 1406 and 1413, mostly
while being held prisoner for having treasonous designs against his
cousin, Henry IV. While much of the book is almost an exact
translation of de Foix, Edward added five chapters of his own to
form the major source for our knowledge of the medieval hunt. The
book begins with a description of the nature of popular quarry,
such as the hare, deer, and badger, including their behavior,
characteristics, and even smells, and then moves to a discussion of
various hunting dog breeds and how to train them. The medieval
chase was a ritual event, so the book continues with an explanation
of the various rules and techniques for a successful hunt,
including how food was to be distributed among the hunters, the
support persons, and the dogs. Weapons and traps of choice are also
described, as well as the different horn calls used for
communication. "The Master of Game" is a unique text for
naturalists, hunters, and persons interested in social history.
Although hunting is nowadays far removed from most people's
experience, it was of major interest in the time of Edward of
Norwich for ritual, sport, and, of course, food. Some knowledge of
the chase was essential for all persons of medieval times. This
edition, the first paperback ever of the original version edited in
1909, includes a hearty foreword by Theodore Roosevelt, who adds
some important contextual information about the chase and draws on
his own vast hunting experience. A delight to read, even for those
who are not keen on the sport, "The Master of Game" has, as one
review exclaimed," all Chaucer's freshness, love of the open sky
and fragrant woodland." Edward of Norwich, Second Duke of York
(1373?-1415) was cousin of King Richard II and became a supporter
of the House of Lancaster in 1399. He was killed at the Battle of
Agincourt. William A. Baillie-Grohman (1851-1921) was an outdoor
writer, adventurer, and explorer who spent much of his life
developing business interests in British Columbia, Canada. Florence
Nickalls Baillie-Grohman was often his collaborator. Theodore
Roosevelt (1858-1919), the twenty-sixth President of the United
States, was an avid outdoorsman and wrote extensively about the
wilderness and big-game hunting. 2005 360 pages 5 x 7 1/2 24 illus.

There may be no better example of American individualism and rugged
outdoorsman than the 26th President of the United States, Theodore
Roosevelt. In this volume we find two of Roosevelt's works on
hunting, "Hunting Trips of a Ranchman" and "The Wilderness Hunter,"
combined into one volume. Roosevelt, who as President would bring
some 230 million acres of land under the protection of the National
Parks and Forest Services, was a great naturalist and his love of
the outdoors is evident in the depictions of these books. Careful
attention is devoted to the sport of hunting as these books work as
both nature travelogues and practical treatises on how to bag game
both big and small. Roosevelt recounts numerous hunts in this
volume which will thrill and delight the hunting and nature
aficionado alike.
Hero Tales is a collection of twenty-six stories that convey
lessons of courage and self-sacrifice without preaching. These
stories were instrumental in lionizing such men as Daniel Boone,
Davy Crockett, and George Rogers Clark in the American mind.
