A Brief History of Rubber - 1 views

  •  
    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.) This group provided great assistance to the Rondon/Roosevelt expedition toward the end of the trip.

Elliott Roosevelt I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    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!

    I thought this was an interesting article about Theordore Roosevelt and his expedition on the River of doubt. It mentioned that the timing of their trip was the height of the rainy season and was very unwise. In a nutshell it sums up the story nicely.

    I liked this article because talks about the Nhambiquaras tribe. This is the tribe that Rondon worked hard to bring peace with, "Die if need be, but never kill." *See picture of an Nhambiquara Indain with a bow-n-arrow in our River of Doubt book.
