Caspar Whitney has recently received a copy of President Roosevelt’s new book Outdoor Pastimes of an American Hunter, and asks whether Roosevelt himself sent it. Whitney greatly enjoyed reading the book, and mentions several chapters he particularly enjoyed. Whitney wonders if Roosevelt has a copy of his book, Jungle Trails and Jungle People–if he does not, Whitney would be pleased to send him one. He does not completely agree with Roosevelt’s list of travel-hunting books, and highlights several that he believes Roosevelt omitted.
