In an e-mail interview with Gregory A. Wynn of the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA), Darrin P. Lunde, author of The Naturalist: Theodore Roosevelt, a Lifetime of Exploration, and the Triumph of American Natural History, admits that he came to study and write about Theodore Roosevelt while contemplating his own career as a museum naturalist. Lunde realized that he and Roosevelt had a similar preoccupation with natural history stretching back to their youths. Lunde explains and defends Roosevelt’s hunting record, praises his powers of observation, and highlight’s Roosevelt’s contributions to conservation.
The front cover of The Naturalist and a photograph of Lunde with Tweed Roosevelt supplement the text of the interview. A text box with the mission statement of the TRA appears on the last page of the interview.
