Co-commanded by famed Brazilian explorer Colonel Candido Rondon and staffed with Roosevelt's 24-year-old son Kermit, naturalist George Cherrie, and more than a dozen local porters and laborers, the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition was plagued by disaster from its very onset-incompetent planning and inadequate outfitting would result in near mutiny, hunger, death, and even cold-blooded murder. But Roosevelt meets an odd stranger along his ill-fated journey, who tells an astonishing tale that could challenge the very core of modern Natural History. Weakened by illness and starvation, Teddy Roosevelt is caught in a web of unfathomable danger, the results of which would alter his life and the lives of his companions forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Paul Jacobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1484116151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781484116159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.62d","brand":"Mark Paul Jacobs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066011447551,"sku":"9781484116159","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14bcabce-0cdf-4b20-9a3b-b4be52d51b8c.jpg?v=1685404821","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-teddy-roosevelt-slew-the-mark-paul-jacobs-9781484116159","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
