Description
The Wilderness Hunter
For many years, Theodore Roosevelt spent his life in the wilderness or near settled country, where cattle ranching was the primary industry. During this time, he hunted extensively, both for sport and to provide hides, meat, and robes for his ranch. His experiences allowed him to kill a wide variety of large game found in temperate North America. Hunting was not just about killing game, but also about the freedom and self-reliance that came with it. Roosevelt cherished the rugged democracy of the wilderness, its grand beauty, and the opportunity to study the habits of woodland creatures. The thrill of the hunt cultivated a vigorous manliness that he believed was essential for individuals and nations alike. For those who have experienced hunting in remote lands, there is no equal joy. It's about the satisfaction of riding a well-bred horse, holding a rifle with precision, and enduring long days of hardship to achieve triumph.Related Products
