No American president has been more enthusiastic in appreciating the wilderness and in conserving our nations natural treasures than Theodore Roosevelt (18581919). And no other president wrote more about nature and his explorations of it than T. R., in scattered books, such as African Wilderness, and in his countless letters, including those collected in The Selected Letters of Theodore Roosevelt). Roosevelt the Explorer, by historian and Roosevelt biographer H. Paul Jeffers, is the only book to offer a comprehensive, lifelong chronicle of the consummate adventurers exploits and expeditions, which compelled him to traverse some of our planets most difficult terrains.

Within these lively pages, Roosevelt collects more than a hundred bird specimens in Egypt at age fourteen  hunts grizzlies and other game in the wilds of the Dakota territory  founds the Boon and Crockett Club, the nations first conservation group  and inspires the first Teddy Bear. Jeffers describes T. R.s efforts as president, against fierce opposition, to establish an unprecedented system of national parks and to ensure the safety of Americas vast federal forests and wetlands from rampant development.

In the words of Roosevelt himself, the adventures unfold T. R.s 19091910, eleven-month, Smithsonian-inspired safari across Africa, from Mombasa on the Indian Ocean to Khartoum in Egypt, which followed his two terms as president  and his 19131914 danger-drenched expedition to map South Americas 950-mile River of Doubt (a previously unexplored tributary to the Amazon River later renamed Rio Roosevelt in his honor). During the trip, one man drowned, another was murdered, and the culprit went insane, fleeing into the jungle. Roosevelt was lucky to escape alive, nearly drowning and plagued by jungle fever, dysentery, an ulcerated leg, blood poisoning, and malaria.

Illustrated with rare cartoons and photos, and filled with hairbreadth escapes, exotic animals and locales, and unparalleled excitement, Roosevelt the Explorer brings to life T. R.s thrilling and often controversial exploits as no other book has done since the twenty-sixth president took his pen in hand over eighty years ago.
