[Gutenberg 64079] • The Happy Hunting-Grounds

Written in the spirit of his father Theodore Roosevelt's wilderness books, The Happy Hunting Grounds is a collection of hunting stories, some of which recount the expeditions Kermit took with his father. Theodore once said of his son, "It is rare for a boy with his refined tastes and his genuine appreciation of literature -- and of so much else -- to be also an exceptionally bold and hardy sportsman." The Happy Hunting Grounds has something for everyone, giving insight into American leaders, nature and exploration, and game hunting.%END%

About the Author:

Kermit Roosevelt (1889-1943) was born at Oyster Bay and committed suicide in Alaska while on active duty at Fort Richardson. His father, Theodore Roosevelt, took him on his post-presidential adventure travels to Africa and South America and ascribed his son with saving his life. After traveling to China with his brother, Theodore Jr., the two co-wrote Trailing the Great Panda, and after his youngest brother died in World War One, Kermit published Quentin Roosevelt: A Sketch with Letters. %END%
