New York:: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1910., 1910. 8vo. xv, 529 pp. Frontispiece, 49 illustrations, index. Gilt-stamped brown cloth; front corner bumped, spine faded. SIGNED BY ROOSEVELT on removable White House letterhead cardstock in tipped-in cellophane sleeve verso frontispiece. Bookplate of Charles A. Gianini. Near fine. FIRST TRADE EDITION of Roosevelt's iconic classic on big game hunting. "Hunting in the Pleistocene wild, Roosevelt believed, let him bravely face down the 'hideous horror' of the eat-or-be-eaten struggle for survival which his Stone Age ancestors had faced. Here he could experience the pure, original emotions of primal masculinity. Like G. Stanley Hall, TR found in the violence of the primitive a safe way to relive the 'hot life of feeling' which civilization had demoted as 'unmanly.' "Roosevelt had personally killed 269 mammals during his safari, including thirteen rhinos, eight elephants, seven hippos, seven giraffes, and nine lions. At the end of African Game Trails, he lists each kill, modestly insisting 'we did not kill a tenth, nor a hundredth part, of what we might have killed had we been willing'" (Bederman, p. 211). "With his son Kermit on the 1909 safari, Roosevelt shot and collected a great deal of game for the Smithsonian and National Museums and was a keen recorded and observer of everything he saw. His account of the safari has its share of the exciting, dangerous moments expected in this type of hunting, but the. . .work is rich with descriptions of the quieter pleasures of safari life, from campfire scenes to reflections on bird-watching" (Underwood, pp. xvii-xviii).

Description:
Hardcover, early edition (1910 Syndicate). Cover shows hunter shooting lion attacking a native. The book is in poor condition - it's falling apart. The cloth is peeling on both the front and rear boards, the spine no longer has cloth and is exposed. The pages are loose. Most of the foreword is missing, though it looks like the other pages are all intact. Needs some TLC. Lots of illustrations in book.
