Description
Under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History, Theodore Roosevelt headed a 1913-14 expedition to a remote area of the Brazilian Amazon basin. His crew constituted the first non-indigenous explorers of the 1,000-mile long "River of Doubt," where they collected numerous plant and animal specimens. Roosevelt's narrative crackles with energy and enthusiasm as he recounts the adventure's many challenges and dangers.

In 1906 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for conducting the negations that ended the Russo-Japanese War.
