“... A lucid, interesting narrative, written with the impartial
soberness of history, warmed and colored by a lively imagination....

With an Account of the Big Game of the United States, and its Chase
with Horse, Hound, and Rifle. With illustrations by Remington, Frost,

vivid picture of a phase of American life which is rapidly passing
away, with clear, incisive force.”--_N. Y. Literary News._
“For one who intends to go a-hunting in the West this book is
invaluable. One may rely upon its information. But it has better
qualities. It is good reading for anybody, and people who never
hunt and never will are sure to derive pleasure from its account of
that part of the United States, relatively small, which is still a
wilderness.”--_N. Y. Times._

as contributing to raise the literary prestige of the country all over
the world.”--_N. Y. Tribune._

“Shows in so young an author the best promise for a good
historian--fearlessness of statement, caution, endeavor to be
impartial, and a brisk and interesting way of telling events.”--_N. Y.
Times._
“The reader of Mr. Roosevelt’s book unconsciously makes up his mind
that he is reading history and not romance, and yet no romance could
