African Game Trails: An Account of the African Wanderings of an American Hunter-Naturalist
President Roosevelt's African safari in 1909, which was undertaken for the Smithsonian Museum, took about one year. During the course of the safari, TR sent dispatches of his hunts to Scribner's Magazine that were read by millions of people back in the States.

I had a difficult time with this book. I have always fancied myself as a theodore Roosevelt type of guy. He being known as a sort of a badass. His ideas of the white man being the supreme race really put me off. I have been a sportsman my entire life enjoying hunting and fishing I cannot even think of shooting a Elephant. An elephant being such an intelligent animal and its not like a small target. I am glad I read it things were so different in the early 1900s.
A very difficult read. The whole-sale state sponsored killing and outrageous racism combined with a narrative style unmatched in its clumsiness left me nearly witless after every session. This is coming from a man that loves a vigorous outdoor lifestyle, hunting and I'm a omnibigot to boot. That being said, the descriptions within of both the animals and there habits are wonderful, and the portraits of the plant life dizzying.
Spectacular story or hunting and African tribal life in the early 1900's
Very good book about Teddy Roosevelt and his son hunting Africa.
Enjoyable so far
