The River of Doubt, Theodore Roosevelt
It was 1912, and Roosevelt was about to give his last major speech before the election and the crowd was wild for him. His very own sister couldn’t even get it to see him. He knew after not winning the election people would begin to ignore him, and people who like him now will begin to dislike him and have nothing to do with him. After losing the election and people began to stop talking to him, he thought about taking a trip to South America to visit he son Kermit and explore the jungle. It seemed to be just what he needed after the defeat in the presidential election. Things started to go bad the day an explorer told them about a river worth exploring, the River of Doubt. Things quickly turned into a survival contest after just 3 months Roosevelt was suffering from malaria and had a bacterial infection in his knee from cutting his leg on a bolder. So he laid there so sick and delirious at times and with a temperature of 105, listening to the roar of the river clutching the small vile that held a fatal dose of morphine that he carried for years. That night he had a chance to take his own life, but instead the next morning after their leader through the jungle announced that they would be leaving behind the canoes and going through the jungle, every man for himself. They got help form a isolated tribe there and Kermit convinced the others that all he needed was some rope and he could lower the canoe to the falls, and save his father. Since they didn’t have anything to lose they let him do it. In the end Roosevelt, Kermit, and the other three men all ended up getting out. The river is now renamed the Rio Roosevelt.
