Theodore Roosevelt was delighted to receive Abel Chapman’s book, and praises it as highlighting Chapman’s work both as a big game hunter and as a naturalist. He especially remarks on the photographs included present in the book, and reflects that he has kept few of his own trophies. He hopes Chapman will come hunt in Alaska or Newfoundland sometime, which will allow him to visit Roosevelt.
