About This Item
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1893. In vain the speeding or shyness;
In vain the elk takes to the inner passes of the woods..." (Walt Whitman)
ROOSEVELT, Theodore. The Wilderness Hunter. An account of the big game of the United States and it's chase with horse, hound, and rifle. Illustrated. New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1893.
First edition, first issue (with chapter headpieces printed in brown). Octavo (9 1/4 x 5 7/8 inches; 235 x 150 mm.).
[xvi], 472 pp. Twent-four photogravure plates (including frontispiece).
Bound for G.B. Putnam's Sons NewYork, ca. 1893. Three quarter tan calf over marbled boards. Spine with five shallow raised bands, decoratively tooled in gilt in compartments, two green morocco labels lettered in gilt, matching marbled endpapers, all edges marbled green. Slight rubbing to extremities otherwise a fine copy. Early neat ink inscription dated
"Dec- 25-1895" on verso of the frontispiece. With the armorial bookplate of Ingle Barr on front paste-down.
Theodore Roosevelt's splendid account of his Western adventures. He starts with a description of the American west, with details of its land, pioneers and settlers. Readers are mesmerized with tales of hunting on the Great Plains, the Badlands and the Rocky Mountains that only Roosevelt can weave.
Roosevelt (1858-1919), twenty-sixth president of the United States, was famed for his service as Colonel of the Rough Riders and his charge up San Juan Hill during the Spanish-American War. He received the 1906 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in mediating the end of the Russo-Japanese War. Roosevelt's achievements as a naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier are as much a part of his fame as any political office he held.
