Included in this lot is the 1926 "Outdoor Pastimes of an American Hunter" by Theodore Roosevelt, publisher Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, illustrated with frontispiece portrait and 48 photographic plates, of Roosevelt 's interesting collection of anecdotes about his hunting experiences. Contains evocative descriptions of the American countryside and well as exciting and informative details about the thrill of the chase. "Outdoor Pastimes of an American Hunter,” is one of the very few instances of a book written by a President of the United States and published during his term in office. Teddy Roosevelt's literary method in treating of outdoor subjects is well known. It is characterized by a thorough-going purpose to do something more than merely narrate the author's personal adventures. The real groundwork of all Roosevelt's writing on these subjects is the broad, scientific method of the naturalist; and a naturalist President Roosevelt preeminently is. Interest in this book will no doubt be heightened by the fact that many of the illustrations are from photographs taken by the President himself or by members of his family. This textured green cloth bound stamped & embossed gold gilt illustrated hardcover is nicely preserved, edges exhibit scuffing. Intact deckled fore edge pages exhibit age tanning throughout, measures 5.25"W x 7.75"L x 1.25"D
