i am a HUGE fan of your grandfather, Theodore Roosevelt! I wish we had more like him today. he was encouraging, fascinating, a survivor and a true bad@$$. i am currently reading the river of doubt and am loving everything about it. i will watch all in this series!
Hello! I'm from Brazil and I have to thank a few people from the US: Larry Rohter, who spent 4 years researching for his biography about Cândido Rondon, PBS for the "Into the Amazon" AE episode and Theodore Roosevelt for demanding the National Geographic Society to also laureate Rondon for the expedition. I have a question: Roosevelt was a man of his time and held a lot of views that nowadays are considered "incorrect". I find those views wrong but I know they were commonplace during his time and that should not be used against him. On the PBS film it's mentioned Roosevelt was impressed with the way Rondon interact with the indigenous populations. My question is if the experience changed some of Roosevelt's views about indigenous peoples. Thanks!
TR couldn't take Quentin because he died in WWI. Kermit committed suicide in middle age after struggling with alcoholism from the time he got back from the Amazon.
Thank you! I look forward to more T.R.talks! It a Bully topic!

TR Junior was the only general in the U.S. Army to land on the Normandy beach under fire on D-Day. Died of a heart attack within a month.
