"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.
