1910 Theodore Roosevelt 1^ed African Game Trails HUNTING Expedition Illustrated

“African Game Trails” is an early 20^th-centry African travelogue by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States. The narrative chronicles Roosevelt’s hunting expedition across East Africa following his presidency. Along with his son Kermit and other members of the expedition, Roosevelt embarked on this adventure, hunting various game while studying and cataloguing the region’s wildlife. The story is accompanied by more than 200 illustrations based on photographs taken by Kermit Roosevelt and other expedition members, along with drawings by acclaimed artist Philip R. Goodwin

In this 1910 first edition, Roosevelt describes the excitement of the chase, the people he met, as well as the flora and fauna he collected in the name of science. Long out of print, this classic is one of the preeminent examples of Africana and belongs on every collector’s shelf.
