Story by UW Archives
President Barack Obama is not the only president to praise Wisconsin’s favorite conservationist, Aldo Leopold.
In this letter dated January 1917, former President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt congratulates Mr. Leopold on his work with the Albuquerque Game Protective Association.
Well done, Mr. Leopold, well done.
We think you are “simply capital” too. Hep hep, hooray!
