Has anyone read this great book?

Has anyone read The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey

Its was an excellent book about Teddy Roosevelt's adventure in Brazil mapping an unknown river in the Amazon. It rivals fiction and was extremely hard to put down. Best book Ive read in a long time.

Haven't heard of that one, but I am curious about TR. There was a Pulitzer-winning biography out in the recent past, but my library doesn't have it. Maybe someone can chime in with a recommendation.

I would like to read this.

I have "River of Doubt" on my bookshelf, but haven't gotten to it yet. I've read several other biographies of TR as he is one of my favorite historical figures.

Looks great. I just added it to my Amazon wish list. My wife's family has Roosevelt ties. Her great-grandparents worked in his household. Her grandfather ended up building a house on Oyster Bay, about a 1/2 mile (as the crow flies) from Sagamore Hill.

Will be looking forward to the Kindle edition.

I have read it and really enjoyed it. A must for Teddy fans.

I haven't heard of it, either. It sounds interesting. I may just have to pick it up.

Bully!

I have not, but it's on my list. I recently read "Canoeing with the Cree," which is about some high school students who decided to canoe from Minnesota to the Hudson Bay in the 1930s. It was a fascinating story, and it has made me want to read more travelogues from that era.
