A Book-Lover's Holidays in the Open

As much a symbol of the nations adventurous past as he was the very picture of booming 20th-century progress, Theodore Rooseveltpolitician and soldier, naturalist and historianwas still a young man when he left the Oval Office, and he spent the decade after his presidency exploring the world... and sharing his experiences in his inimitable prose. In this 1916 book, he leads us:
on a cougar hunt on the rim of the Grand Canyon
trekking across the Navajo Desert
to a Hopi snake dance
across the Andes and Northern Patagonia
through bird reserves at the mouth of the Mississippi
and much more
Roosevelts rip-roaring, real-life exploits are just as entertaining today as they were a century ago, and serve as a stirring reminder of the breathtaking beauty and lurking danger of the natural world.

American icon THEODORE ROOSEVELT (18581919) was 26th President of the United States, serving from 1901 to 1909, and the first American to win a Nobel Prize, in 1906, when he was awarded the Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War. He is the author of 35 books.
