? Forewords by three generations of Theodore Roosevelt?s heirs
Theodore Roosevelt Hunter-Conservationist reflects the zest for life that was so powerfully characteristic of TR. For decades, Roosevelt?s big game hunting books have been among the most often quoted and reprinted of works in that genre. But no definitive biography of Roosevelt as the consummate hunter, outdoorsman and arms enthusiast existed until this pioneering work. Biographers who fail to comprehend TR?s dedication to that world have missed an essential component of Roosevelt?s life.
Lavish in every way, Theodore Roosevelt Hunter-Conservationist is the only book that chronicles TR?s extraordinary life in the context of his unparalleled achievements as hunter-conservationist with striking historical images and original documents from various Roosevelt archives. TR?s stewardship, sportsmanship, and leadership have set the standard of excellence and responsibility for humankind?s wise use of wilderness resources, a matter of particular significance in modern times.
