On December 9, 1913 Theodore Roosevelt was sent out, after failing to get a third term of presidency, to map out a River. The river was called the River of Doubt. He went with his son Kermit and Colonel Rondon of the South American Government plus much more. The trek took every bit of confidence from Theodore Roosevelt. He was bitten and stung from the insects in the rainforest. They ran out of food throughout the journey and had to eat monkeys. The journey finally ended on April 27 the next year. When they got back the trip was considered a success. They found over 2,000 species of birds and 500 mammals on the trip. The river was later renamed to the Roosevelt River for his bravery.
