This crusade for the American wilderness was perhaps the greatest U.S. presidential initiative between the Civil War and World War I. Roosevelt's most important legacies led to the creation of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and passage of the Antiquities Act in 1906, laying the groundwork for the national parks system. His executive orders saved such treasures as Devils Tower, the Grand Canyon, and the Petrified Forest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis definitive account of our naturalist president reveals: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Birth of Conservation: \u003c\/b\u003e Explore the untold story of how Roosevelt, an avid bird-watcher and naturalist, channeled his passion for the American wilderness into a revolutionary political crusade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Presidential Legacy: \u003c\/b\u003e Discover how his administration set aside more than 230 million acres of land and laid the groundwork for the National Park System, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Antiquities Act.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNever-Before-Published Materials: \u003c\/b\u003e Drawing on newly unearthed letters and journals, Brinkley offers a fresh, groundbreaking perspective on the life and achievements of America's conservationist president.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEpic American History: \u003c\/b\u003e A sweeping narrative that captures a pivotal era, detailing perhaps the greatest U.S. presidential initiative between the Civil War and World War I.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the Best Books of the Year \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Kansas City Star\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Chicago Tribune\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe St. Louis Post-Dispatch\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this monumental biography, acclaimed historian Douglas Brinkley examines the life and achievements of Theodore Roosevelt, our naturalist president, and his tireless crusade for the American wilderness--a legacy now more important than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e--Michael Beschloss, author of Presidential Courage\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the Best Books of the Year \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Kansas City Star\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Chicago Tribune\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe St. Louis Post-Dispatch\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this monumental biography, acclaimed historian Douglas Brinkley examines the life and achievements of Theodore Roosevelt, our \"naturalist president,\" and his tireless crusade for the American wilderness--a legacy now more important than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 960\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.1 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 04, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024311304381,"sku":"9780060565312","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/L91nW6S1m-9780060565312.webp?v=1782661057","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/the-wilderness-warrior-theodore-roosevelt-and-the-crusade-for-america-paperback","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
