Featured Article: 60+ Theodore Roosevelt Quotes for Your Inner Outdoorsman and Active Citizen


Before taking office as the 26th President of the United States of America, Theodore Roosevelt had already made a name for himself as a historian and an adventurer. He became an archetype of the ultra-masculine frontiersman, while still maintaining his image as an intellectual and a scholar. It is perhaps this particular mélange that made him appeal to the American people who would elect him. Learn more about the man with our collection of quotes.

It's understandable that the nature of hunting stories makes them repetitive and often predictable, but there's enough varied prose and thoughtfulness here to keep it engaging. Though for someone who's renowned for their charisma and passion, this work of Roosevelt's can come across dry and humorless as he makes clear to illustrate that his experience and knowledge is well above that of the average frontiersman. With that in mind, the narration is downright monotonous, with a distant, gruff lack of emotion. His voice works well for the subject matter, it just needs to be elevated with variation in delivery, I found myself constantly zoning out and having to replay segments. Still enjoyed this very much, and would certainly recommend.

If you don't mind repetition

After hearing the narrator for the first few seconds I almost turned it off and only kept listening because I wanted to listen to this entire book. I’ve heard him on another audiobook and it is absolutely brutal listening to his idiotic accent and how he tries to portray the readings.

Narrator is horrible

Interesting stories of a different era. Lots of info on the habits of animals and many fascinating adventures. Fairly well read, although slightly jarring to have such classically American material read in a foreign accent. Enjoyed it. Much better read than “Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail”.

Great writing, decently read

It was great to listen to what someone had written a long time ago about how life was and how they survived. It’s a must read or listen and I’ll be listening to more books like this one.
5 stars!
