Written in the spirit of his father Theodore Roosevelt’s wilderness books,
The Happy Hunting Grounds is a collection of hunting stories, some of which recount the expeditions Kermit took with his father. Theodore once said of his son, ‚It is rare for a boy with his refined tastes and his genuine appreciation of literature — and of so much else — to be also an exceptionally bold and hardy sportsman.‘
The Happy Hunting Grounds has something for everyone, giving insight into American leaders, nature and exploration, and game hunting.
