He was definitely a sport hunter, killing wildlife for recreation. He also was an intelligent observer and student of nature. He did, however, fail to discern basic ecological relationships. He, as most of his contemporaries, viewed predators as vermin to be killed at any opportunity. The same day that he killed a bull snake in the process of killing its prey, a jackrabbit (predator/prey) in order to save the rabbit, he went out and killed a pronghorn. Was his motive for killing prey more justified than that of the snake? There was no victory dance for the snake, but TR let loose with one, shouting, "I got him!" (the pronghorn) twice. His actions that day seemed to be at odds with his precept of having a "soundness of head" rather than a "softness of heart". Yes, TR accomplished some good for conservation through the power of the presidency, but if one is discerning, he also did a lot of damage on an individual basis. His hunting exploits over the years were certainly for personal pleasure, yet at least some were justified as for scientific collection. If one reads enough about TR, reads his own words, it is obvious (or should be) where he was "coming from". This book was well written and interesting, but it was written by an animal collector. For many TR is the kind of man that can easily become a hero. Review: Excellent choice! - A gift to an avid reader and lover of American history. The reader was surprised to learn new and fascinating things about Teddy. The reader, at age 96, thought she knew all there was to know! I was inspired to choose this book after watching Kevin Costner’s program about Yellowstone National Park…..NOT meaning the mini series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #77,614 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #66 in Environmentalist & Naturalist Biographies #73 in Biology of Wildlife #168 in US Presidents | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (377) | | Dimensions | 5.28 x 0.75 x 7.99 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0307464318 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0307464316 | | Item Weight | 9.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | April 11, 2017 | | Publisher | Crown | ## Images ![The Naturalist: Theodore Roosevelt, A Lifetime of Exploration, and the Triumph of American Natural History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81O6hvWjdCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TR, a man of his time. *by C***A on November 8, 2017* The book points out the discrepency betweenTR's motives for hunting and preserving wild areas.
