Introduction

River of Doubt is inspired by a true story. The time is February 1914. An expedition heads down an unknown river in the heart of Brazil's Amazon. The leaders: ex-US President THEODORE ROOSEVELT, still a "Bull Moose" at 54, a man of seemingly unquenchable strength and character impervious to doubt; and COLONEL CANDIDO RONDON, Brazil's greatest explorer, renowned for having never failed on a expedition. Also along are KERMIT ROOSEVELT, Roosevelt's 24-year-old son, called Bwana Dandy for his expensive taste in clothes and elegant manners and speech; GEORGE K. CHERRIE, a New England naturalist; and Rondon's lieutenant LYRA, a fiery and impulsive man who resents the presence of the Roosevelts. None suspect what trials and dangers await them on the newly christened "River of Doubt." Some will not survive. Some will be changed forever. And others will be haunted for the rest of their lives.
