Written in the spirit of his father Theodore Roosevelts 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.

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.
