Reviews

"Besides being one of our greatest presidents, Roosevelt stands alone as a conservationist, a visionary when it came to the protection and preservation of America's natural resources, and an author."--Library Journal

"...he was a keen observer of nature who relished the entire outdoor experience. His writings reflects that and make the books much more interesting than a recollection of hunts."--Idaho Statesman

"In the old days, in the wild west, men went out and shot anything they wanted.... In the time before hunting tags, licenses and conservation, senseless slaughter was at home on the range. It took the dedication of conservation-minded hunters like Theodore Roosevelt to start clubs and enact conservation legislation aimed at saving animals for future generations."--BC Outdoors Hunting & Shooting
