A book-lover's holidays in the open

Roosevelt felt the most alive when out in the open air of the wilderness, when, "He can see the red splendor of desert sunsets, and the unearthly glory of the afterglow on the battlements of desolate mountains. In sapphire gulfs of ocean he can visit islets, above which the wings of myriads of sea-fowl make a kind of shifting cuneiform script in the air. He can ride along the brink of the stupendous cliff-walled canyon, where eagles soar below him, and cougars make their lairs on the ledges and harry the big-horned sheep. He can journey through the northern forests, the home of the giant moose, the forests of fragrant and murmuring life in summer, the iron-bound and melancholy forests of winter."

  • ""The man should have youth and strength who seeks adventure in the wide, waste spaces of the earth, in the marshes, and among the vast mountain masses, in the northern forests, amid the steaming jungles of the tropics, or on deserts of sand or of snow. He must long greatly for the lonely winds that blow across the wilderness, and for sunrise and sunset over the rim of the empty world." So begins Theodore Roosevelt's classic work of adventure in the great outdoors. Roosevelt himself suffered from asthma and other ailments as a child; to compensate for his perceived weakness, he pursued a strenuous outdoor life. This work for like-minded boy and girl adventurers includes chapters on hunting cougar at the rim of the Grand Canyon, travels across the Navajo Desert and adventures in South America. Additional chapters detail suggested books to take along on open-air holidays."@en
