After leaving the presidency of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt was looking for other worlds to explore. The hardship of the expedition he led to first chart a mysterious tributary to the Amazon River cost three lives, and may have led to the early death of the great exemplar of the "vigorous life" TR's death at the age of 60, 78 years later, Roosevelt's great-grandson Tweed Roosevelt and a team of Americans and Brazilians retraced their route using modern skills and equipment, and to match themselves against those who chartered The River Of Doubt.
