This article has indepth information about the "Rubber Men" of South America. This group eventually wiped out the native tribes from 30,000 to less than 8,000. (By the tiime, Theordore Roosevelt traveled the River of Doubt the Rubber Men were few and far between because now the rubber plantations were in now growing in Southeast Asia.)

In our River of Doubt book, the author often compares Teddy Roosevelts son, Kermit, to his brother Elliott. Both had issues with alcohol and attempted suicide. T. Roosevelt could see these similarites and didnt' want his son to go down the same path of his brother. I found it interesting to learn more about his brother who he didn't want his son to turn out like!

What I Learned As An Ex-Gifted Kid | Caroline Cannistra | TEDxAshburnSalon - YouTube - 0 views
-
Gifted children often lead double lives. Intellectually, they may seem like small, eccentric adults, and they may prefer the company of adults, but in many ways they are still children. For this reason, many gifted education experts have doubts about letting gifted students start college several years early. In this talk, you will hear about my experience entering a college environment at age 13. You’ll hear about my successes and failures, the way I interact with the professional and academic world, and what I am learning now as an ex-gifted adult. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
