T.R. on the Democracy of Wilderness

Photo courtesy of Library of Congress.

From its very nature, the life of a hunter is evanescent; and when it has vanished there can be no real substitute in old settled countries. Shooting in a private game preserve is but a dismal parody; the manliest and healthiest features of the sport are lost with the change of conditions. We need, in the interest of the community at large; a rigid system of game laws rigidly enforced, and it is not only admissible, but one may also say necessary, to establish, under the control of the State, great national forest reserves, which shall also be breeding grounds and nurseries for wild game; but I should much regret to see grow up in this country a system of large private game preserves, kept for the enjoyment of the very rich. One of the chief attractions of the life of the wilderness is its rugged and stalwart democracy; there every man stands for what he actually is, and can show himself to be. -Theodore Roosevelt

Congratulations to David Kidd from Westminster, Colo., for answering last month’s question correctly.

Last month’s question: Where did T.R. shoot his first deer?

The answer: T.R. shot his first deer in New York’s Adirondack Mountains when he was a boy. He shot it by torchlight or jacklight, a practice he later helped outlaw.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

CHEERS TO CONSERVATION

Theodore Roosevelt’s experiences hunting and fishing certainly fueled his passion for conservation, but it seems that a passion for coffee may have powered his mornings. In fact, Roosevelt’s son once said that his father’s coffee cup was “more in the nature of a bathtub.” TRCP has partnered with Afuera Coffee Co. to bring together his two loves: a strong morning brew and a dedication to conservation. With your purchase, you’ll not only enjoy waking up to the rich aroma of this bolder roast—you’ll be supporting the important work of preserving hunting and fishing opportunities for all.
