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.

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.
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.
Politician, soldier, naturalist, and historian -- a century after
the peak of his multifaceted career, Theodore Roosevelt remains a
towering symbol of American optimism and progress. This collection
of speeches and commentaries from 1899 through 1901 embodies the
Rough Rider's enduring ideals for attaining a robust political,
social, and personal life.
Before he ascended to the highest office in the land as the United
States youngest president, Theodore Roosevelt, with illustrations
by Frederic Remington, though a New York City man born and bred,
was a devotee of the Old West. In 1888, he published this charming
ode to the American frontier, from the rewarding hard work of a
rancher on the open plains to the pleasures of hunting the big game
of mountains high. Today, the inimitable prose and infectious
enthusiasm of Roosevelt 's writing here serves as much to limn a
unique aspect of the character of the nation as it sings an elegy
for a disappearing way of life. Includes numerous illustrations by
Frederic Remington.Also available from Cosimo Classics: Roosevelt
