Soon after leaving the White House, Theodore Roosevelt led the Smithsonian-Roosevelt African Expedition of 1909 and 1910, and this book is his record of it. Traveling with his son Kermit through British East Africa and Uganda and down the Nile, he describes the landscapes, the people he met, and the hunting and collecting of specimens for the Smithsonian. It was first published in 1910.
