(3) YA Seiple recounts Teddy Roosevelt's post-presidency expedition of an uncharted river in Brazil. Embarking into unknown territory in dugout canoes, the party encountered "hostile" and "primitive" natives, insects, hunger, turbulent rapids, and more; even Roosevelt himself only narrowly escaped death from an infected leg and malaria. The page-turning adventure narrative is accompanied by journal excerpts and archival photographs. Timeline. Bib., ind.
