The Theodore Roosevelt Association Journal (TRAJ) presents five letters written by Theodore Roosevelt in 1894-1895 to Captain George S. Anderson, the superintendent of Yellowstone National Park. In the letters, Roosevelt asks Anderson to write an essay about game protection in Yellowstone for a volume to be published by the Boone and Crockett Club. Roosevelt also discusses the prospects of passing a bill to protect the wildlife of the park; notes the capture of the buffalo poacher Edgar Howell; and informs Anderson that the Boone and Crockett Club would like to reimburse him for his expenses incurred in arresting Howell.
TRAJ editor William N. Tilchin provides an introduction to the letters which are supplemented by a letter from Colleen E. Curry of Yellowstone National Park and by five notes written by Anderson about the letters from Roosevelt. A photograph of Roosevelt in Yellowstone in 1903 accompanies Tilchin’s introduction.
Theodore Roosevelt writes of the American Western frontier and his experiences there, along with some of the stories he heard about the lawless days of the area. The article includes drawings by Frederic Remington.

While Robinson discourages appointing Theodore Roosevelt Jr. at the moment, he wishes to appoint him to a business position in the future. He encloses a letter from Gustav E. Kissel, and plans to send Roosevelt a photograph of his hunting guide, Tazewell Woody. In a postscript, Robinson reports a recent theft.
