Hunting the Grisly and Other Sketches by Theodore Roosevelt recounts his tales of hunting and killing animals with joy. The stories include catching bears in leg traps to then bludgeon them to death with an axe for sport, stealing mountain lion cubs and playing with them and hunting and killing wild bison. With its gruesome content, Roosevelt's storytelling style is engaging and enjoyable to read when discussing the natural history of wildlife. The book may find an audience with hunters and naturalists.
