Theodore Roosevelt set out on his journey sometime in December of 1913. He set sail with a ship full of men ready to start mapping and exploring, South America. The place they were meaning to map and explore was the River of Doubt, which is in the Amazon Rainforest. On his journey he suffered from a severe case of Malaria and after cutting his leg on a boulder developed a bacterial infection that could end up killing him. As time went on he just kept getting worse and finally got a deadly temperature of 105 degrees, but luckily he survived through that and made it back home safe and sound.
