About the Book

Theodore Roosevelt Hunter-Conservationist reflects the zest for life that was so powerfully characteristic of TR. For decades, Roosevelt's big game hunting books have been among the most often quoted and reprinted of works in that genre. But no definitive biography of Roosevelt as the consummate hunter, outdoorsman and arms enthusiast existed until R.L. Wilson's pioneering work. Biographers who fail to comprehend Theodore Roosevelt's dedication to that world have missed an essential, and central, component of Roosevelt's life.

About the Author :
Author of over 48 books and more than 325 articles, auction catalogues, book introductions and monographs, Wilson's career in the world of history, art, firearms and hunting began with internships while an undergraduate at Carleton College (Northfield, MN), at the Corcoran Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), the Royal Armouries, H.M. Tower of London, and the Wadsworth Atheneum (Hartford, CT). He was appointed the Atheneum's Curator of Firearms at the age of 23. Wilson's research and writing have led to innumerable trips worldwide, including nine expeditions to Africa (the first in 1970). Among his published works are four official company histories: Colt, Winchester, Ruger and Beretta. More than a dozen of his titles have been published by Random House, Simon & Schuster, Abbeville Press, Crown, and Ballantine. Several of his works are also in French, German and Italian, and six of his books were done in collaboration with renowned photographer, author and adventurer, Peter Beard. The Colt Heritage: The Official History of Colt Firearms, is the only firearms-related book ever nominated for the American Book Award, publishing's equivalent of an Oscar. Wilson is a professional member of the Boone and Crockett Club, and was co-executive producer--with the Hon. William E. Simon--of the hunting and conservation documentary film, "In the Blood." In 2004 Wilson received the coveted "Jack Slack Writer of the Year" award, from Leupold & Stevens, as well as the "Sport Shooting Ambassador" award from the World Forum on the Future of Sport Shooting Activities.

Review :
One would be hard pressed to find a more interesting or energetic figure in all of American history than Theodore Roosevelt, and this wonderful book captures that spirit completely, especially his joy and concern for the natural world. --Ken Burns, filmmaker: The Civil War, The National Parks Historian R. L. Wilson has done a fine job presenting Theodore Roosevelt as our nation's great conservationist. Using TR's hunting adventures as his guiding light, Wilson offers the reader a fresh window into what made our 26th President tick. --Douglas Brinkley, author of The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America Theodore Roosevelt lives and breathes in this unique biography, which richly chronicles his exceptional outdoor life and adventures. As a dedicated sportsman and enthusiast of firearms and the shooting sports, TR set the perfect standard of behavior for his contemporaries, and for future generations. All Americans are fortunate to have such an exemplary, productive and multi-faceted life as captured in this book revealing of the many and varied ways that natural wonders and fine guns can be experienced, and appreciated. --General (Ret.) H. Norman Schwarzkopf
