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.
"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.
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.
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.

1917. Contents: Biographical Note; Foreword by Theodore Roosevelt;
The Headquarters of the Great General Staff; Von Bissing's
Headquarters; and A Belgian Record. "One of the most graphic
pictures of the German attitude, the attitude which has rendered
this war inevitable, is contained in this book. It is a convincing,
and an evidently truthful, exposition of the shocking, the
unspeakably dreadful moral and intellectual perversion of character
which makes Germany at present a menace to the whole civilized
world."
