Christopher Volpe examines John Burroughs’s Camping & Tramping with Roosevelt, the naturalist’s account of his time spent with President Theodore Roosevelt at Yellowstone National Park in the spring of 1903. Volpe asserts that Burroughs and his work have fallen into obscurity, and he believes that the book, in its two essays, provides insights into Roosevelt’s love of nature and his powers of observation. The book also touches on presidential travel, the state of Yellowstone, and controversies about hunting.
A photograph of Roosevelt and Burroughs in Yellowstone National Park (incorrectly identified as Yosemite) appears in the article as does a listing of the members of the executive committee of the Theodore Roosevelt Association.
