I picked it up to look over at the grocery as I sipped a Starbucks waiting for my wife. Must have happened three of four times, before I decided I just couldn't go on without adding to my Library. This big book (over 900 pages) is written from the conservationist aspect of his life by a history professor at Rice University, Douglas Brinkley. He also wrote the best book I have read on Katrina and New Orleans - The Great Deluge. A fellow Texan that has one fault- he can't stop writing.

He somehow weaves the story of T. Roosevelt around his feelings for Nature and our Beautiful World. A very interesting treatment of history. Great Book
that I will pick up and read forever. My thanks to Kroger and Starbucks for the recommendation.
