At the end of the nineteenth century, Theodore Roosevelt, T. S. Van
Dyke, and other elite men began describing their big-game hunting
as "manly sport with the rifle." They also began writing about
their experiences, publishing hundreds of narratives of hunting and
adventure in the popular press (and creating a new literary genre
in the process). But why did so many of these big-game hunters
publish? What was writing actually doing for them, and what did it
do for readers? In exploring these questions, The Hunter Elite
reveals new connections among hunting narratives, publishing, and
the American conservation movement. Beginning in the 1880s these
prolific hunter-writers told readers that big-game hunting was a
test of self-restraint and "manly virtues," and that it was not
about violence. They also opposed their sportsmanlike hunting to
the slaughtering of game by British imperialists, even as they
hunted across North America and throughout the British Empire.
Their references to Americanism and manliness appealed to
traditional values, but they used very modern publishing
technologies to sell their stories, and by 1900 they were reaching
hundreds of thousands of readers every month. When hunter-writers
took up conservation as a cause, they used that reach to rally
popular support for the national parks and for legislation that
restricted hunting in the US, Canada, and Newfoundland. The Hunter
Elite is the first book to explore both the international nature of
American hunting during this period and the essential contributions
of hunting narratives and the publishing industry to the North
American conservation movement.
