This book is most timely, given the current interest in the Brazilian wilderness and the issues of ecology in the Amazon region, and it is fascinating to see our present in the perspectives provided by T.R.'s experiences in Latin America at the beginning of the century now coming to a close.
"Perhaps because of his love of birds, Teddy Roosevelt went to South America five years after leaving the White House. His adventures down a southern tributary of the Amazon appeared in Through the Brazilian wilderness (1914). In 1992, Ornig, Roosevelt's great-grandson, retraced the route and described his experiences in this version of the President's trip. Interesting for field geographers who want to know just how tough it used to be to travel down the Amazon"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

My Last Chance to Be a Boy: Theodore Roosevelt's South American Expedition of 1913-1914
TR's expedition to South America's unexplored areas was a bold attempt to keep energized after having suffered the one political defeat of his life in the 1912 election. The expedition, like most, faced incredible hardships of a sort that probably shortened Roosevelt's life, and the hardships are portrayed well.
