nstone: This isn’t necessarily an unbiased look at TR, since it focuses so narrowly, but it was a really good, detailed read on that subject

Yes, TR accomplished some good for conservation through the power of the presidency, but if one is discerning, he also did a lot of damage on an individual basis. His hunting exploits over the years were certainly for personal pleasure, yet at least some were justified as for scientific collection. If one reads enough about TR, reads...
