In this book, Robert B. Roosevelt foresaw and expressed concern
about the eventual decrease and possible extinction of many game
animals unless conservation measures and improved hunter ethics
were promptly adopted to protect them. He relates personal hunting
experiences, descriptions of major game birds (waterfowl, rails,
shorebirds, woodcock, and snipe), means of taking them, areas
hunted, hunting equipment, including boats, retrieving dogs, the
art of marksmanship, sportsmanship, and hunter ethics. He clearly
describes the advantages of the new breech-loading shotguns over
antiquated muzzled-loaders. This was one of most hotly debated
hunting issues of the day. The author was an uncle of Theodore
Roosevelt and great-uncle of Eleanor, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's
wife. An avid sportsman, he is often credited for instilling in
Theodore an appreciation of the out of doors, including hunting,
fishing, hiking, and camping.--Henry M. Reeves.
