American Big-Game Hunting

“The Boone and Crocket Club is organized primarily to promote manly sport with the rifle among the large game of the wilderness, to encourage travel and exploration in little-known regions of our country, and to work for game and forest preservation by the State.” —Theodore Roosevelt & George Bird Grinnell,  American Big-Game Hunting

American Big-Game Hunting—The Book of the Boone and Crockett Club (1893), edited by Theodore Roosevelt and George Bird Grinnell, is a collection of essays about hunting and outdoors adventures from various authors, such as  “Nights with the Grizzlies,” by Colonel W.D. Picket;  “The Yellowstone Park as a Game Reservation,” by Arnold Hague; and “In Buffalo Days,” by George Grinnell.

This collection was released as part of a series of books by the Boone and Crocket Club, a club founded by Teddy Roosevelt with George Grinnell in 1887 for the preservation of large game animals and their habitats in the United States.
