Click on image to zoom in
Theodore Roosevelt combines a lecture tour with exploration of the River of Doubt (Roosevelt River) in the Amazon Valley during his 1913-1914 trip to South America. In January of 1914, the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition travels in Brazil on the Paraguay River and the Sepotuba River to Tapirapoan, where the overland portion of their journey to the headwaters of the River of Doubt began. A native trading boat appears to be lashed to the small launch carrying the Roosevelt party; the launch moves slowly toward the camera. The man wearing a white shirt, seated to the right on the boat, is probably Roosevelt. Location may be the Sepotuba River. Camera distance and film quality make positive identification of individuals impossible.
