John A. Herman writes Theodore Roosevelt in response to reading Roosevelt’s introduction to H. J. Mozans book Along the Andes and Down the Amazon (Following the Conquistadores). Herman has travelled in South and Central America in a parallel journey to Mozans. Not all men agree with Mozans’s conclusions, so Herman appreciates Roosevelt’s approval.
