The Hunting and Exploring Adventures of Theodore Roosevelt ; Told in His Own Words

by Theodore Roosevelt, Donald Day (Editor ), Elting E. Morison (Contributor )

Most of all Theodore Roosevelt is remember for his exuberance, and never did he display more enthusiasm than in his love for the outdoors. Throughout his life, he was a keen observer of nature, and an indefatigable hunter. He was also, to quote Times magazine, "the liveliest writer who ever held the presidency". This combination makes "The Hunting and Exploring Adventure of Theodore Roosevelt" - told in his own words taken from the best of his writings - classic among books on the outdoors.

About the author

Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., also known as T.R., and to the public (but never to friends and family) as Teddy, was the twenty-sixth President of the United States, and a leader of the Republican Party and of the Progressive Movement.

He fathered Alice Roosevelt Longworth, a daughter.

He became the youngest President in United States history at the age of 42. He served in many roles including Governor of New York, historian, naturalist, explorer, author, and soldier (posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 2001 for his role at the Battle of San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War).

Roosevelt is most famous for his personality: his energy, his vast range of interests and achievements, his model of masculinity, and his "cowboy" persona.
