Good Hunting: In Pursuit of Big Game in the West

Good Hunting: In Pursuit of Big Game in the West

Written in the late nineteenth century and first published in Harperâ€™s Round Table magazine in 1896, this collection of articles details turn-of-the-century Americaâ€™s rugged wilderness. Good Hunting is an engaging read for those whose interests lie in hunting sports, and nature. Roosevelt, being the first president to begin many of the national park conservation programs in twentieth-century America, was a lover of the outdoors, and his writings are filled with notations and observations of the lands that he explored. From hunting elks, wolves, and bucks, Roosevelt provides stunning insight into some of northwestern Americaâ€™s most well-known inhabitants.

Good Hunting is a fascinating historical portal through which we can view a celebrated sportsman, president, and keen observer of the outdoors. The seven chapters in this book range from classic hunting articles, memorable anecdotes from other outdoorsmen, and even a detailed piece on the specifics of ranchingÂ—a topic of much interest at the turn of the century.

This is a classic read for anyone wanting to learn more about a man who was so loved by a country, and to escape to the America of yesteryear.
