Edmund Heller, the well-known Smithsonian biologist who accompanied Roosevelt on his famous African expedition, said that the former president was the world’s foremost authority on large mammals. He was also an avid bibliophile and had what may have been the finest large mammal library in North America in the early 1900s. Roosevelt communicated with authorities-both sportsmen and scientists-in all parts of the world. From his lifelong study and enthusiasm for outdoor adventure came a host of durable writings, gathered together here in a collection that celebrates the natural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Roosevelt’s commitment to saving wild places is one of his most lasting contributions as a U.S. president. This collection combines classic hunting and nature narratives with his equally durable advocacy of wilderness protection for the sake of personal and national character. This new edition features an introduction by Paul Schullery that provides historical and ecological context.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e List of Illustrations \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Editor’s Note on the Text \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Introduction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Part 1.
