Title: Hunting trips of a ranchman : sketches of sport on the northern cattle plains ; & the wilderness hunter : an account of the big game of the United States and its chase with horse, hound, and rifle / Theodore Roosevelt. Edition: Modern library ed. Publisher, Date: New York : Modern Library, 1996. Description: xxii, 795 pages ; 20 cm Summary: Written during his days as a ranchman in the Dakota Bad Lands, these two wilderness tales by Theodore Roosevelt endure today as part of the classic folklore of the West. The narratives provide vivid portraits of the land as well as the people and animals that inhabited it, underscoring Roosevelt's abiding concerns as a naturalist. This book chronicles Roosevelt's adventures tracking a twelve-hundred-pound grizzly bear in the pine forests of the Bighorn Mountains. In asides as compelling as the hunt, Roosevelt muses on the beauty of the Bad Lands and the simple pleasures of ranch life. This remains perhaps the most detailed account of the grizzly bear ever recorded and an intensely personal portrait of the man who would be president.
