Hunting Trips of a Ranchman by Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt was this nation’s 26th President and is considered by many to be our “Conservationist President”.
“When he became President in 1901, Roosevelt pursued this interest in natural history by establishing the first 51 Bird Reserves, 4 Game Preserves, and 150 National Forests. He also established the U.S. Forest Service, signed into law the creation of 5 National Parks, and signed the 1906 Antiquities Act under which he proclaimed 18 national monuments. The area of the United States placed under public protection by Theodore Roosevelt totals approximately 230,000,000 acres.”
