Book Description
Excerpt from Through South America's Southland: With an Account of the Roosevelt Scientific Expedition to South America It is now three and thirty years since duty first led me to our sister republic of Mexico. The interest which I had previously felt in the achievements of the Conquistadores was greatly enhanced by my sojourn among their descendants, in the valley of Anahuac, and has since continued to grow with the passing years. Since this first visit to Mexico, other duties coupled with special research in the religious, educational and social condition of the peoples of Latin America have led to my following in the footsteps of the Conquistadores from the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the arid plains of Patagonia and from the source of the Amazon, in the Peruvian Cordillera, to its broad estuary four thousand miles distant. Thus, through a strange combination of circumstances, I have been "A palmer, as ye se, Whiche of my Iyfe much part have spent In many a fayre and farre cun trie, As pilgrims do of good intent." An account of some of my long peregrinations has been given in ray two previous books, "Up the Orinoco and Down the Magdalena" and "Along the Andes and Down the Amazon. "I The present work completes the trilogy which I had in contemplation when, nearly a decade ago, I began the first volume of the series bearing the general title of "Following the Conquistadores." It was my good fortune, when about to start on my last journey to the southern continent, to be able to enlist Colonel Roosevelt's interest in the wilds of South America.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • “Colonel Roosevelt is compelling reading, and [Edmund] Morris is a brilliant biographer who practices his art at the highest level. . . . A moving, beautifully rendered account.”—Fred Kaplan, The Washington Post This biography by Edmund Morris, the Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winning author of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex, marks the completion of a trilogy sure to stand as definitive. Of all our great presidents, Theodore Roosevelt is the only one whose greatness increased out of office. What other president has written forty books, hunted lions, founded a third political party, survived an assassin’s bullet, and explored an unknown river longer than the Rhine? Packed with more adventure, variety, drama, humor, and tragedy than a big novel, yet documented down to the smallest fact, this masterwork recounts the last decade of perhaps the most amazing life in American history. “Hair-raising . . . awe-inspiring . . . a worthy close to a trilogy sure to be regarded as one of the best studies not just of any president, but of any American.”—San Francisco Chronicle
