Excerpt from Roosevelt in Africa: Graphic Account of the World's Most Renowned Hunter in the Wilds of Africa, His Unerring Aim and Wonderful Ability as a Hunter, Encounters With Lions, Tigers, Elephants and Other Wild Beasts of the Jungle; Containing Also a Complete History and Study of W Interwoven with the most thrilling personal experiences and fascinating stories are given accurate and thorough observations of every form of wild animal life. 'in this way we have tried to produce an interesting story book, which at the same time contains, in most popular form, a series of natural history studies of more value than can be found in any text book. We trust we have succeeded in making a book that, while highly entertaining to young readers, IS not lacking in educational value. In describing the animals we have avoided the use of scientific terms, and have used the most simple language, so that young people, and those who have made no special study of zoology will understand and appreciate it as readily as the student or scholar; that children may read and study and enjoy it as well as the adult members of the family. The subject of wild animal life is especially attractive to young people, and no study can be more elevating and ennobling. Nothing can be more instructive, or more certainly enlarge and broaden the mind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
