Theodore Roosevelt's extraordinary bear stories, assembled in a book for the first time by naturalist-historian Paul Schullery, are rich in the colorful folklore, remarkable natural history, and unforgettable adventure of exploring the world of North American bears. Though remembered today as a war hero, a trust-busting U.S. President, and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Roosevelt was also one of the leading wildlife authorities of his day. His bear writings amounted to the foremost contribution to American bear literature by any writer up to his time.
