About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1913. Small Quarto. pp. 279-298 illustrated with photographs and a drawing by Philip R. Goodman. A first rate article of what Roosevelt observed about the African lion. This article is in no sense about hunting. Far more interesting than the chase itself is the observation. This article represents an attempt to present the life histories of the most interesting among the beast of the African junlges, the lion. They are based mainly on first hand observations, but are also in part based on the cumulative observations of many other men. Bound in original paper wraps lettered and decorated in red and black, chipping to spine ends, edges just a bit worn. A very nice, clean copy.
