About this listen

 Dive into the captivating world of early conservation with Our Search for a Wilderness, the inaugural book from The Boone and Crockett Club, co-founded by Theodore Roosevelt and George Grinnell. In their Editors Note, they emphasized the essence of big-game hunting as a pursuit for the strong and resilient. This book, while reflecting the outdated equipment of its time, offers a vivid exploration of the American West and the dawn of the conservation movement. Each chapter delves into various animals such as buffalo, mountain goats, elk, and grizzlies, as well as the indigenous peoples and stunning landscapes of the Rockies and Yellowstone. With a closing list of the clubs original 100 members, including notable figures like General William T. Sherman, this account captures the true spirit of adventure and the hunt.
