A proposito di questo titolo
 Dive into the captivating world of early conservation with Our Search for a Wilderness, the inaugural book from The Boone and Crockett Club, co-founded by Theodore Roosevelt and George Grinnell. In their Editors Note, they emphasized the essence of big-game hunting as a pursuit for the strong and resilient. This book, while reflecting the outdated equipment of its time, offers a vivid exploration of the American West and the dawn of the conservation movement. Each chapter delves into various animals such as buffalo, mountain goats, elk, and grizzlies, as well as the indigenous peoples and stunning landscapes of the Rockies and Yellowstone. With a closing list of the clubs original 100 members, including notable figures like General William T. Sherman, this account captures the true spirit of adventure and the hunt.

    Narrative of an Expedition to the Shores of the Arctic Sea in 1846 and 1847-John Rae
    Nov 7 2026
    Narrative of an Expedition to the Shores of the Arctic Sea in 1846 and 1847 by John Rae.

    After the bizarre death of Thomas Simpson, Dr. John Rae was chosen to complete the survey of the Northwest Passage, linking the work of Simpson and Peter Dease with the previously known country to the east. Rae was recognized for his endurance and skill in wilderness travel, adopting the methods of the native peoples often eschewed by other European explorers. This is his report on the initial work in the years 1846-47. The final link was made to the surveys of Simpson and Dease several years later (1848-51).
