Roosevelt in the Wilderness: Hunting Tales of an American President

Includes THREE full length books: The Wilderness Hunter, Hunting the Grisly and Other Sketches, and Hunting Trips of a Ranchman. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, is perhaps the most multifaceted person ever to hold that office. In his career in public service he was by turns a politician, soldier, reformer, and statesman. As a private citizen he was known as a historian, explorer, author, outdoorsman and conservationist. The hunting stories included in this collection were written by Roosevelt, as a chronicle of his adventures in the wilderness of the West. In these tales he portrays a unique vision of the West in the late 1800's, before development, sharing with the reader his firsthand accounts of an unspoiled American West. Included in this collection: The Wilderness Hunter, Hunting the Grisly and Other Sketches, and Hunting Trips of a Ranchman.
