Tweed Roosevelt describes his trip to Brazil to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Colonel Candido Mariano da Silva Rondon who led, with Theodore Roosevelt, the expedition down the River of Doubt in 1914. Roosevelt describes the landscape of the state of Mato Grosso and highlights its largest city Cuiaba. Roosevelt examines the Pantanal, a massive wetland, and its Bororo Indian inhabitants, and he gives a brief overview of Rondon’s career. Roosevelt closes his essay with remarks about some of the Brazilian politicians and guides who accompanied him during his visit.
Two color photographs accompany the essay which is followed by a twelve page album of eighty-four photographs taken by Tweed Roosevelt and Mark Greenberg which chronicles various aspects of the trip.
