Although Teddy Roosevelt had an insatible lust for hunting (he hunted in the USA and Africa), he was able to recognize the need for conservation in both the animal world and in nature. This book explores his role in the conservation of animal species and his establishment of National Parks here and in Puerto Rico. We owe him our gratitude for saving the American wilderness from developers and protecting America's most valuable assets. This book discusses the founding of many of today's well known societies: Sierra Club, National Geograpic just to name a few.

This is not a book on politics, it is a book about the preservation and protection of America
