I got home this afternoon to find a package at my door, a belated birthday present from a sibling who had spent a good chunk of last month traveling. It is a book, and one with some heft: Douglas Brinkley's latest book, The Wilderness Warrior. The subject is Theodore Roosevelt and how he built up the national park system and protected other wilderness areas. It is a subject that I am definitely interested in and somewhat learned about already, but at 817 pages, plus appendix and notes, I think I'm heading for a schooling with this book.
I've read both criticism and praise for Brinkley's previous work, but this will be my first time digging into one of his books directly and in full. It should be interesting.
