Just read The River of Doubt, a historical fever dream.

Teddy Roosevelt post-presidency, lost in the Amazon with malaria, murderers, hostile tribes, and the legendary Candido Rondon. 

Imagine nearly dying in the jungle with your son to prove something no one asked you to.

Unreal story.

For REAL

Btw, I actually read your post on focus and shipping through the cycles this afternoon and wanted to let you know I found it very inspiring 🫶

“built different” doesn’t begin to describe it

YES! I fell in love with this book. Such a harrowing and inspiring story and a truly wild thing to do as a former President. 

They really don’t make em like they used to.

Books

The River of Doubt

Millard tells the story of TR’s ill fated trip into the Amazon.

The story itself is great. The book is full of interesting characters. But the storytelling does justice to neither, and the book falls flat.

It’s at its best just reciting a litany of jungle horrors.

Two stars for its class.

I thought it was weak

Seeing these kind of posts inspires me to read more non fiction than fiction.
