River of Doubt. Roosevelt’s (the good Roosevelt) exploration of a river in Brazil. Fantastic.

I appreciate the clarification of “the good Roosevelt” 🤌

there was a good one?

Teddy was crazy

fdr implemented social programs that are not affordable at least not anymore

Good being relative. Maybe I should have said “The Bad Ass one”

yes Teddy was kind of fearless and so one of his kids got killed in a stupid war

he was kind of like a 6-year-old with a toy gun running around

Not sure how long FDR would have made it on that adventure…. Prolly at least 10-15 minutes.

Candice Millard’s re-telling of the account is awesome as well!
