A Book-Lover’s Holidays in the Open is a travelogue written by former U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt about his expeditions through the Americas following his presidency in the early twentieth century. In it, Roosevelt takes readers on a cougar hunt in the Grand Canyon, through the Andes and Northern Patagonia, to a Mississippi River bird reserve, and to a Hopi snake dance, among other exotic and beautiful locations.
Roosevelt blends his love for reading and literature with these adventures, giving readers a glimpse into the books he would have brought on his outdoor journeys.
