Title Through the Brazilian Wilderness
Credits Etext prepared by John Bickers and Dagny
Summary "Through the Brazilian Wilderness" by Theodore Roosevelt is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles Roosevelt's adventurous expedition into the Brazilian hinterland, focusing on his encounters and observations related to geography, natural history, and the local cultures he encountered. The narrative promises a blend of thrilling exploration, scientific inquiry, and personal reflection. The opening of the book sets the stage for Roosevelt's expedition, describing how the journey originated from a casual conversation with Father Zahm about exploring South America after Roosevelt's presidency. As he details the preparations for the trip, Roosevelt introduces his companions, including naturalists and other explorers, highlighting their backgrounds and expertise. He mentions the collaboration with the Brazilian Government and outlines the expedition's objective to conduct scientific research while exploring the remote and relatively uncharted regions of Brazil. This portion establishes not only the adventure to come but also Roosevelt's passion for nature and his commitment to scientific discovery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
