Who's Who in the Big Woods War Over Naturalist Claims
The piece profiles Rev William J Long and President Theodore Roosevelt in a public dispute over views of wild animals and hunting. Long, a Stamford Connecticut preacher and naturalist, challenges Roosevelt's elk and deer hunting stance while portraying himself as a lifelong woodsman who studies wildlife. Roosevelt’s rebuttal centers on the nature of observation versus hunting. Both present their credentials and journeys in extensive wilderness travel, urging the public to decide who embodies true naturalism.
