The Sun Also Sets

Hathaway Hemingway Roosevelt...hated first names and a tolerated last name, he just went by Roosevelt because explaining "H.H." in front of his name was just laughable.  Twenty years the hunter...hundreds of clients.  How Roosevelt loathed the clients.  They came for the death, the blood of Africa.  Few came to enjoy Africa for the experience.  Everyone wanted a trophy.

​

One day while scouting for a "Big Tusker" for some clients arriving the next day, Roosevelt makes a discovery that will forever change his life...he just doesn't know it in the moment.  How big really was that track?  And a buffalo killed by a single male lion....not possible.  But the tracks are real...and tracks don't lie, only men do.  If that's not a Theodore Roosevelt quote, it should have been, as Roosevelt often times quotes the latter, a respected hunter in his own right.

​

For Roosevelt had now been marked.  The lion had left its imprint in his shoulder.  In Africa, it was an unwritten rule, if an animal marked you, that is wounded you, you then hunted it down.  If not, everytime you went back to the bush that memory would trouble you for the rest of your life.

​

Join Roosevelt on his life changing odyssey...from the African plains, to the jungles thick, from rivers to waterholes, and back to the plains - and be thankful for those Baobab trees. A man truly set for destiny...he just needs a guide, in more ways than one.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt, April 23, 1910
