African Game Trails by Theodore Roosevelt (Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1910) is one of the most celebrated works of early 20th-century African travel and big-game hunting literature. Written by the former U.S. President himself, this richly detailed account chronicles Roosevelt’s famous safari through British East Africa and the Belgian Congo, undertaken shortly after his presidency in 1909.
In this classic narrative, Roosevelt vividly describes his encounters with Africa’s spectacular wildlife—lion, elephant, rhinoceros, and buffalo—alongside the challenges of the hunt and the beauty of the landscape. His observations extend beyond sport, offering insight into African ecology, indigenous peoples, and the early days of scientific specimen collection, conducted in association with the Smithsonian Institution.
Lavishly illustrated with photographs and drawings, African Game Trails combines adventure, natural history, and political reflection in Roosevelt’s distinctive, vigorous prose. It captures both the romance and the realities of Africa’s wilderness at a time when the continent was largely unknown to Western readers.
A cornerstone of African travel literature, this 1910 first edition remains an important historical document—an evocative record of exploration, wildlife, and the conservation ethos that would later define Roosevelt’s legacy.
