The twenty-sixth president of the United States was also a world-renowned hunter; conservationist; soldier; and scholar. In 1908 he took a long safari holiday in East Africa with his son Kermit. His account of this adventure is as remarkably fresh today as it was when these adventures on the veldt were first published. Roosevelt describes the excitement of the chase; the people he met (including such famous hunters as Cunninghame and Selous); and flora and fauna he collected in the name of science. Long out of print; this classic is one of the preeminent examples of Africana; and belongs on every collector's shelf.African Game Trails includes stories about President Theodore Roosevelt advertures throughout East Africa; Belgian Congo; Mombassa; Khartoum; etc. Travelling the world to hunt and kill dozens of animals including Lions; Rhinos; Giraffes; Leopards; Buffalo; Hippos and Elephants. This fascinating story about Teddy Roosevelt's hunting adventures are not for the squeamish or the politcally correct as it includes heart-pounding stories.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Helpful OverviewBy Chris CanuelI enjoyed reading this book. Eschatology is the area of theology that I am probably weakest in. While I had a basic knowledge related to the three main positions in relation the the Millenium; I can now better understand the differing views. This book is also helpful; even if you've already made your choice on where you stand on this point; to better grasp why others believe what they believe. For those seeking to get a better handle on eschatology and the millennium I definitely recommend this read. It was a bit technical in some parts and I found myself getting a bit bogged down in places; which is why I gave it 4 stars; but in a book of this nature that could be unavoidable.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Worthwhile introduction to the millenniumBy Patrick CesarioNot a work as an end in itself; but Three Views on the Millennium should spur one's desire for further study. I appreciated the format' s critiquing approach; in which its authors reviewed and commented clearly and extensively. This is worthwhile introductory look at such an important subject.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy CustomerVery informative.
