Burroughs, John. [Camping and tramping with Roosevelt.] **$1. Houghton.
7–31186.
A two-part sketch, the first of which being an account of the camping trip in the Yellowstone which the President and Mr. Burroughs made together in the spring of 1903, the second being an account of a visit to Oyster Bay in which the author gives his impressions of the President as a nature-lover and observer. He shows how Mr. Roosevelt can stand calm and unflinching in the path of a charging grizzly, with the same quality of coolness and determination with which he confronts predaceous corporations and money powers of the country; he claims for the President the power of observation “to see minutely and to see whole;” above all, shows how his interest in wild life is at once scientific and thoroughly human—making of him the rarest kind of sportsman.
