Book excerpt: President Theodore Roosevelt's love of natural history is celebrated in two sketches written by renowned naturalist John Burroughs. The friends shared a two-week trip to Yellowstone in the spring of 1903, in order to observe the wildlife and geologic wonders of America's first national park. The desire was to commune with nature, not to hunt. "I will not fire a gun in the Park, then I shall have no explanations to make," President Roosevelt said. While they had guides, the president was unaccompanied by secret service, personal physician, or secretaries and, remarkably, took an 18-mile trek through hard country completely by himself on one occasion. "He came back as fresh as when he started..."

Book excerpt: This little volume really needs no introduction; the two sketches of which it is made explain and, I hope, justify themselves. But there is one phase of the President's many-sided character upon which I should like to lay especial emphasis, namely, his natural history bent and knowledge. Amid all his absorbing interests and masterful activities in other fields, his interest and his authority in practical natural history are by no means the least.

Book excerpt: This little volume really needs no introduction; the two sketches of which it is made explain and, I hope, justify themselves. But there is one phase of the President's many-sided character upon which I should like to lay especial emphasis, namely, his natural history bent and knowledge. Amid all his absorbing interests and masterful activities in other fields, his interest and his authority in practical natural history are by no means at least. I long ago had very direct proof of this statement. In some of my English sketches, following a visit to that island in 1882, I had, rather by implication than by positive statement, inclined to the opinion that the European forms of animal life were, as a rule, larger and more hardy and prolific than the corresponding forms in this country. Roosevelt could not let this statement or suggestion go unchallenged, and the letter which I received from him in 1892, touching these things, is of double interest at this time, as showing one phase of his radical Americanism, while it exhibits him as a thoroughgoing naturalist. -- John Burroughs (1907)Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) was the 26th President of the United States (1901-1909). A hero of the Spanish-American War, he served as governor of New York (1899-1900) and was U.S. Vice President (1901) under William McKinley. He Won the 1906 Nobel Peace Prize for his mediation in the Russo-Japanese War."John is so calm, so poised, so much at home with himself, so much a familiar spirit of the forests," wrote Walt Whitman of his friend, the naturalist and writer John Burroughs. "He is a child of the woods, fields, hills-native to them in a rare sense (in a sense almost a miracle)."

Book Synopsis Camping and Tramping with Roosevelt by : John Burroughs
Download or read book Camping and Tramping with Roosevelt written by John Burroughs. This book was released on 2010-07-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burroughs was a world traveler and wrote of many of his trips in his book "Fresh Fields". One of his most memorable experiences was the time he spent with President Theodore Roosevelt in Yellowstone. He was so taken with the president's true love of nature - down to the smallest creatures. He felt that Teddy Roosevelt was misunderstood and wrote "Camping and Tramping with Roosevelt" to share a side of the president that most people never saw, including his deep love of birds. Burroughs published this book in 1907.This book is printed in its original form so some imperfections or marks may appear, but we believe the work is culturally important enough to preserve it in its original form. The photos of Teddy Roosevelt are a rare treat!(Timeless Classic Books)
