A Thrilling Trip Through Africa With Roosevelt 
Lion, the King of the African jungles, the bloodthirsty Leopard, the burly 
Elephant, and all the other known and unknown monsters of the mightiest 
and so little known Continent. 
Not less interesting is the description of the tropical natural scenery; 
the big rivers, the impenetrable jungles, the towering mountains and the 
endless forests, through which our Ex-President travels—no other country 
in the World can present anything equal to it—Civilization has levelled 
everything, cut down the forests, killed off the beasts and the game and 
dotted the former jungles with beautiful cities and magnificent palaces— 
Africa alone is still in the dress it had when it emerged from the Almighty 
Creator’s hands—its natives are still savages, not far above the wild 
monsters that rove around in its forests looking for prey—and it adds to 
the all absorbing interest of this fascinating work to read about the blood¬ 
less victories our National Hero won among these children of the wilderness 
as he, while studying their curious customs, their strange marriage cere¬ 
monies, their weird and uncanny superstition, their bloody warfares, their 
shocking fetisch worship and human sacrafices made so favorable an im¬ 
pression on their unsophisticated minds as to be looked upon as the great 
chief, their Bwana Thumbo, and almost worshipped as a God. 
A Book of Discoveries, Adventures, Travel and Exploration. 
Most of us know the Lion, the Leopard, the Elephant and all the rest of 
the tropical animal tribe only from our Wild West Shows or from our Zoo¬ 
logical Gardens. In this fascinating work we meet them in their native 
forests, untamed by human hands, untouched by keepers and bars and 
cages. We meet the kingly lion in his native lair, the immense hippopota¬ 
mus and the ferocious crocodile in lakes and rivers, where no steamwhistle 
or steamboat scares them away from their undisputed domains; we meet 
the war-like gorilla, the agile and ugly apes and monkeys, the poison- 
tongued boa constrictors, the fleet-footed ostrich, the long-necked, giraffe, 
the nimble zebra, the bulky rhinoceros, and the shy and light-footed 
gazelle speeding with lightning rapidity over the plains, and the giant 
elephant plowing the earth with his immense tusks. 
It would be impossible to tell about even half of what the interested 
reader will find in this volume—it must be read to be fully appreciated. 
Others have gone to Africa to satisfy their curiosity or—as Napoleon 
their uncontrollable ambition. Our Ex-President aims higher. He under¬ 
takes this perilous expedition to enrich our stock of knowledge and further 
science. He travels in the interest of the Smithsonian Institution at 
Washington; and all the World not less than we in America are going to 
reap the benefits of his achievements. 
Thanks to him and his discoveries we will know more about the King¬ 
dom of Nature. This book tells you all about it. It is this year’s greatest 
event on the book-market.
