Theodore Summary

In the fall of 1913, Roosevelt and a few other men began their jouney through Brazil's River of Doubt. They quickly realized how hard this journey would be; some days the temperature was a high as 105 degrees. At one point, group member George Cherrie gave up and left Roosevelt, Kermit, and the rest of the group to continue on. They had lost dozens of pacs of mules and faced starvation. They had to travel through dangerous currents on leaking dugout canoes. They had looked death in the eyes many times. Througout the expidition, they met Indians and poisonous animals. Despite all the hardships, they mad it through.
