Paul Russell Cutright examines Theodore Roosevelt’s June 9, 1910, bird walk in southern England with Viscount Edward Grey. Cutright discusses the birding the two did in the Itchen River valley and New Forest, and he provides an excerpt from Roosevelt’s An Autobiography in which Roosevelt describes in detail some of the birds and their songs. Cutright discusses Roosevelt’s birding as a young man, and he highlights Grey’s speech and book about his birding with Roosevelt. The article concludes with a section on Grey and Frank M. Chapman retracing the walk in 1921.
A photograph of Roosevelt at Oxford University on June 7, 1910, appears in the article as does a reproduction of a page of the guest book of the Forest Park Inn showing Roosevelt’s and Grey’s signatures. A notice about the dedication of a historical marker in Mississippi denoting Roosevelt’s 1902 bear hunt also appears in the article.
