Theodore Roosevelt's account of the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition of 1913 and 1914, when he and the Brazilian explorer Cândido Rondon traveled through the Brazilian interior. The party mapped the River of Doubt, later renamed the Rio Roosevelt, facing rapids, disease and hunger, and Roosevelt nearly died along the way. His account of the journey and of the region's wildlife was first published in 1914.
