The number sounds impossible, until considered in the context of a life that reads like the stuff of fiction. When war erupted in the South, he remained loyal to the Confederacy, a teenager off to war. By the turn of the century, he'd become such a legendary hunter he was tapped to lead Teddy Roosevelt on a hunt that gave birth to the \"Teddy Bear.\" As a former slave, Confederate soldier, and professional hunting guide, Holt goes down as an American legend. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 28, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461709119666,"sku":"9781540258441","price":42.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/8258e2da0f1714f3c1a16cd2a82942a5.webp?v=1778953567","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/mississippi-bear-hunter-holt-collier-guiding-teddy-roosevelt-and-a-lifetime-of-adventure-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
