This quick read gives a good overview of America's journey from being almost exclusively a resource consumer to becoming more conservation-minded. It's a must read for hunters, fisherman and outdoors enthusiasts.

This book was a real let down, granted it was only 70 pages long it was not worth the time. Based on the title, it seemed as if this was going to be a reflection
on the 1912 Bull Moose Party platform TR ran with however it turned into this massive campaign to put conservation on a soap box. Yes conservation was part of TR's views but it wasn't why he created the Bull Moose Party.
