A Book-Lover's Holidays in the Open
A Book-Lover's Holidays in the Open
Theodore Roosevelt was many things, president, Rough Rider, reformer, but in this spirited travelogue, he is simply a manaddicted to the wild. Written with the boundless energy that defined his character, A Book-Lover's Holidays in the Open follows Roosevelt and his party (including his sons) through some of America's most rugged terrain: the Grand Canyon, the Badlands, the untouched wilderness that he would later fight to preserve as national parks. This is not mere hunting narrative, though the chase figures prominently. It is a love letter to the open sky, to the crack of canvas in morning wind, to the particular silence of a man alone on a ridge at dusk. Roosevelt writes with startling immediacy about the land, the wildlife, and the Indigenous peoples he encounters, capturing a America that was already vanishing in his lifetime. For readers who wonder what Roosevelt meant when he called the wilderness "the great storehouse of national vigor," this book provides the answer in vivid, throbbing prose.
