Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt was The President of the United States, from 1901 to 1909. In 1913, he attempted to obtain his presidency once again, but lost to Woodrow Wilson. Because of this defeat, he became very sick, and very depressed. Later in 1913, Roosevelt sailed south for South America.
Although Roosevelt was still feeling depressed and sick from his defeat, he met his son Kermit at his place of work in South America, and Kermit joined his father and his men on the expedition. Kermit, his father, and other men ended up exploring what was called the river of doubt, when they got there, many men, especially Roosevelt began to get very ill. Roosevelt’s cases were so severe, that the physician and his son Kermit never left his bedside. Roosevelt and his tired men left in late 1913. From 1913 to 1914, the men endured Indian attacks, starvation of men, murder within their own ranks, diseases that spread from man to man and weather conditions that began to get worse and worse. At this point, Roosevelt’s health was not very good. Kermit promised his father that he would take him home, dead, or alive.
Roosevelt was not always in the best conditions on this expedition. Roosevelt suffered from Malaria, and lack of health, which had almost lead to his death. Even though his health was not always the best, Roosevelt was still up for anything, whether it was publishing a book, winning legal trials, or having his family support him in his war efforts, Roosevelt Died at the age of 60, January 6th, 1919, because of a arterial blood clot.
