Accompany Theodore Roosevelt on his Smithsonian safari to East Africa with new context and perspectives Features 120 historic duotone photographs Immediately after Theodore Roosevelt left the White House, he led an African expedition for the Smithsonian that collected more than 23,000 specimens for its new natural history museum. Alongside his son, Kermit, Smithsonian naturalists, and African porters, they brought back a wide range of plants, fish, reptiles, and big game. This book takes readers along for the journey, and features: More than 100 expedition photographs printed with stunning reproduction qualityExcerpts from Roosevelt's firsthand account in African Game Trails Historical context and contemporary commentary from author Frank H. Goodyear III that provides an in-depth understanding of the expedition and its significanceA foreword from Secretary of the Smithsonian Lonnie G. Bunch III, who provides nuanced insight on Roosevelt's complicated legacyAn afterword from Dino J. Martins, a Kenyan entomologist and evolutionary biologist, on the role of African communities during the expeditionTheodore Roosevelt and the Smithsonian Expedition to British East Africa, 1909-10 contextualizes the expedition, explores its impact, and reflects on Roosevelt's complex legacy as a president and hunter-conservationist.
