Theodore Roosevelt wasn’t just a president; he was one of America’s great naturalists. He doubled the size of America’s national parks, and spent a lot of time outdoors, too —most famously as a rancher in North Dakota. But Roosevelt’s love of nature actually started in a cramped New York City brownstone, far from the fresh air and open spaces he would come to love and protect.
In the tradition of great storytellers, Davis continues to approach Off The Path in serial form. He’ll explore this season, in 2 or 3 installments, and then combine them into a single podcast episode. Here, you’ll find those individual installments, which we’re calling “Mile Markers.” Enjoy the ride!
