EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of adventure and exploration embodied by the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. Taken circa 1914, during his groundbreaking expedition through the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, Roosevelt is seen standing on the banks of the Rio da Duvida, now known as the Roosevelt River. Roosevelt's journey, undertaken with Brazilian explorer Candido Mariano da Silva Rondon, was a scientific expedition aimed at discovering the uncharted reaches of the Amazon Basin. Lasting from 1913 to 1914, the expedition covered over 930 miles of the treacherous river, which was renamed in honor of the American President. The photograph reveals Roosevelt's determination and curiosity as he gazes intently at the vast expanse of the river, surrounded by the lush, untamed rainforest teeming with exotic flora and fauna. Macaw parrots, with their vibrant plumage, can be seen flying overhead, adding a splash of color to the verdant landscape. Roosevelt's account of this adventure, "Through the Brazilian Wilderness," provides a fascinating insight into the challenges and discoveries faced during this historic expedition. The photograph stands as a testament to Roosevelt's indomitable spirit and his unwavering commitment to exploring the unknown, leaving a lasting legacy in both American and Brazilian history.
