M. C. Cloete thoroughly enjoyed Theodore Roosevelt’s book African Game Trails. He encloses a sketch of his African trip. He regrets not meeting Roosevelt, unlike his nephews, who were fortunate to have the honor. Roosevelt’s list of the game shot confirms Cloete’s opinion that Roosevelt only shot what was necessary.
