Originally published as a series of essays in Harper's Round Table in 1897, Good Hunting is Theodore Roosevelt's attempt at bringing the wonder of America's public lands and animals to the children of the country. The late 1800s were a period of extraordinary change in the west. The vast herds of animals that once covered the plains and mountains of the western US were nearly gone. Settlers had moved into the country's nooks and crannies, and the frontier had moved along with them into Alaska. One of the fathers of the conservation movement, Roosevelt shows us what this beautiful country could have easily lost, and he awakens in us an appreciation for it that is the foundation for keeping it for generations to come.

First published in 1893, The Wilderness Hunter is a deeper look into a natural world of change. In this section, Roosevelt introduces us to his experience of the wonders of nature found in the United States. He then moves on to give a brief description of his time as a cowboy and the Mule deer hunts he went on in the west.
