Theodore Roosevelt was a New Yorker. He first came to the Badlands in September 1883. A Sportsman and hunter all his life, Roosevelt sought a chance to hunt the big game of North America before they disappeared. His time there would ultimately inspire him to become President of the United States. These are the tales of his love for the outdoors and the beauty and challenges of the Dakota Badlands. His love of the great outdoors would ultimately lead to the creation of National Parks under his presidency. GET MORE BOOKS AT ILLUMINATIONPUBLISHING.COM

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, ever underscoring the author's abiding concerns as a naturalist. Originally published in 1885, Hundting Trips of a Ranchman chronicles Roosevelt's adventures tracking a twelve-hundred-pound grizzly bear in the pine forests of the Bighorn Mountains. Yet some of the best sections are those in which Roosevelt muses on the beauty of the Bad Lands and the simple pleasures of ranch life. The British Spectator said the book 'could claim an honourable place on the same shelf as Walton's Compleat Angler.' The Wilderness Hunter, which came out in 1893, remains perhaps the most detailed account of the private life of the grizzly bear ever recorded. This Modern Library edition contains an introduction by historian Stephen E. Ambrose, author of Undaunted Courage.
