Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William T. Hornaday

Theodore Roosevelt compliments zoologist William T. Hornaday on his pamphlet on the sage grouse. He wants Hornaday to use his name on behalf of a six years closed season on grouse, prairie chicken and quail in most places. Roosevelt is unhappy about the photographs of “the game-boys in automobiles.”
