1886 1ed Theodore Roosevelt HUNTING Trips Big Game Sport Bears Elk Illustrated



“Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right.”

― Theodore Roosevelt



Mostly known for his Presidency of the United States of America, Theodore Roosevelt was an avid explorer, hunter, and naturalist. He wrote and published a number of works on hunting big game prior to his presidency, including this work ‘Hunting Trips of a Ranchman’. Roosevelt himself, says of this work,

“My object in writing these books was not only to give a full account of the chase of every kind of big game proper to the United States, but also where possible to touch on their life histories. I write for my fellow ranchmen and fellow hunters, and for the young men of America, in whose veins the red blood of life runs lustily, and who joy in the strenuous pleasure that comes only as the prize of toil and exposure in the open.”



This first edition work features 25 full-page engravings of various game animals - fowl, deer, bear, elk, and rams.
