Theodore Roosevelt was born on October 10, 1889. He was a very interesting man. On November 5, 1912, his candidacy was realized in full view. Many people in America supported Roosevelt’s campaign, but that was not enough. Roosevelt failed to become president. In the fall of 1913, after he had failed to regain presidency, he headed for South America. He took with him a small group of men to accompany him on his journey. In December 1913, Roosevelt and his small group of men embarked on a journey to explore and map Brazil’s River of Doubt.
Roosevelt and his crew had many struggles on their journey. One of them was Roosevelt got very sick and suffered malaria. He also suffered a deadly bacterial infection from slicing his leg on a boulder. Another struggle that they came across in their journey is that Roosevelt and his crew encountered deadly waves while they were sailing, which forced them to abandon their canoes and go out into the jungle.
Roosevelt became very angry during the journey because of all the hardships he had to overcome. One time, he got so angry that he murdered one of his crew members just through desperation and rage. He was getting annoyed because he wanted to explore the River of Doubt, but he did not know about all of the hardships he would encounter along the way.
There may have been many hardships along the way, but Roosevelt and his crew made it out of their journey to the River of Doubt alive. Roosevelt lived a long life, but suddenly died from a self-inflicted gunshot on June 4, 1943. He was a very successful man who made a lot of accomplishments in his life.
