Broschiertes Buch

Hunting Trips of a Ranchman and The Wilderness Hunter

Beschreibung

There may be no better example of American individualism and rugged outdoorsman than the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. In this volume we find two of Roosevelt's works on hunting, "Hunting Trips of a Ranchman", and "The Wilderness Hunter", combined into one volume. Roosevelt, who as President would bring some 230 million acres of land under the protection of the National Parks and Forest Services, was an avid naturalist and his great devotion to the outdoors is evident in his depiction of his beloved Elkhorn Ranch in both of these books. Roosevelt devoted careful attention to both the details of the sport of hunting and the picturesque world around him as "Hunting Trips of a Ranchman" and "The Wilderness Hunter" function as nature travelogues and practical treatises on how to bag game. These works take place in one of Roosevelt's favorites places, his Elkhorn ranch, which was located on the banks of the Little Missouri River in North Dakota. The location is now a part of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Roosevelt's exciting and descriptive recollections of numerous hunts in these volumes will thrill and delight both the hunting and nature aficionado. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Autor

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was an American politician, statesman, soldier, conservationist, naturalist, historian, and writer who lived from October 27, 1858, until January 6, 1919. From 1901 to 1909, he presided as the 26th president of the United States. From 1899 to 1900, he served as New York's 33rd governor. From 1901 until 1918, Franklin D. Roosevelt served as president of the United States. He was elected governor of New York in 1898 and was a military hero. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to mediate the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese War. Theodore Roosevelt wed Alice Hathaway Lee, a socialite, in 1880. The newborn mother passed away two days later from kidney failure that was untreated due to pregnancy. Roosevelt crossed out a page in his journal and then wrote, "The light has gone out of my life." On December 2, 1886, Theodore Roosevelt wed Edith Kermit Carow. In his sleep, Franklin Roosevelt passed away from a blood clot that had broken free from a vein and reached his lungs. To his family's housekeeper James E. Amos, he said his final words, "Please put out that light, James." The old lion is dead, and his son Archibald telegraphed to his brothers after his death.
