Author Description

Excerpt from Museum Stories for Children, Vol. 29: October-November, 1937 Less than ten years ago two adventurous Americans decided to go on a hunting trip to Western China and Tibet. They intended to hunt the rare giant panda, but they had so little hope of getting one that they kept the object of their hunt a secret. This was not the first time these two adventurers, Theodore and Kermit Roosevelt, had traveled in Tibet, so they bore no hard feelings when the natives scratched their ears and stuck their tongues out at them. They knew that was just a friendly Tibetan greeting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
