L. Wilson has done a fine job presenting Theodore Roosevelt as our nation's great conservationist. Using TR's hunting adventures as his guiding light, Wilson offers the reader a fresh window into what made our 26th President tick.

SynopsisTheodore Roosevelt Hunter-Conservationist , new from the Boone and Crockett Club, is a sweeping view of the outdoor life of the rancher, explorer, soldier, statesman, author, 26th President of the United States--and hero to hunters and conservationists worldwide., Theodore Roosevelt Hunter-Conservationist reflects the zest for life that was so powerfully characteristic of TR. For decades, Roosevelt's big game hunting books have been among the most often quoted and reprinted of works in that genre. But no definitive biography of Roosevelt as the consummate hunter, outdoorsman and arms enthusiast existed until R.L. Wilson's pioneering work. Biographers who fail to comprehend Theodore Roosevelt's dedication to that world have missed an essential, and central, component of Roosevelt's life., This book is a valuable contribution to the ever-growing body of work about the life of Theodore Roosevelt - illuminating a neglected aspect of the man, his absorbing interests in firearms, hunting, and the outdoors, as they pertained to his overall life and philosophies.
