Theodore
Roosevelt and the River of Doubt
It
started in 1913 when Theodore Roosevelt lost his presidency and then had the
opportunity to go take an expedition through the jungle to speak at when an invitation came to speak in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, he went tough several difficulties and tough times trying to find
food, they ate monkey and anything else that they could get their hands on. In an attempt to survive safely, see the
animals and appreciate the nature, they fought their way through. In their
journey, they encountered bug bites, infectious disease, fevers, and a lot of
illnesses. Theodore had gotten a gash across his leg and had got a serious skin
infection and ended up with a high fever of 105 degrees. While battling sickness, they were struggling
to get across waterfalls, rapids, and the local Indians didn’t like them so
much and was following them. Among their own group of people, there was a
murder; Unsure of who did it, they continued on. Toward the ending of their
expedition, they were all in pretty bad shape, when they arrived they were
relieved that all but one had made it. The main reason Theodore wanted to go on
that trip was for the nature, and the animals. In conclusion, Theodore
Roosevelt was a naturalist, whose first love was nature. He spent his life
being the president, and exploring. He died a while after the expedition from a
reoccurring sickness called malaria.
