Description: New York and London: G. P. Putnam's Sons: The Knickerbocker Press, 1899. SIGNED by Theodore Roosevelt directly beneath his frontispiece portrait (his signature only, NOT personalized to anyone). SEE PHOTOS.

All gilt stamping is still bright and shiny. SEE PHOTOS. With 55 illustrations by Remington, Frost, Beard, and "other well known artists" -- all with red printed captions on their tissue-guards. 1899. First Edition. Limited to 1000 numbered copies, this being #894. From Roosevelt's Foreword: " My object in writing these books was not only to give a full account of the chase of every kind of big game proper to the United States, but also where possible to touch on their life histories I write for my fellow ranchmen and fellow hunters, and for the young men of America, in whose veins the red blood of life runs lustily, and who joy in the strenuous pleasure that comes only as the prize of toil and exposure in the open." Oversize Hardcover. 8.5" wide by 11.5" tall by 2.5" thick. This large, very heavy book will require extra postage for International shipments, but only the standard charge for priority mail.
