Signed, limited first edition, 103 of 200 copies signed by the author. This is one of Roosevelt’s most important early works on North American big game hunting. It blends vivid first-hand accounts of hunting expeditions in the American West with naturalist observations and reflections on wilderness conservation. Roosevelt, already a seasoned outdoorsman and naturalist by his mid-30s, would go on to become the 26th President of the United States and a pioneer of the American conservation movement. This volume predates his presidency and captures his frontier persona at its peak.
