After Theodore Roosevelt lost in the election against Woodrow Wilson in December 1913 he had gone to go see his son Kermit at 55 years old. He set sail for South America to explore and map Brazil’s map of the River of Doubt. Right from the beginning the trip began to go wrong and Theodore was suffering from malaria. Malaria is a blood disease transmitted by the bite of a mosquito. He had developed a deadly bacterial infection from cutting his leg on a boulder. Since the rain forest was burning hot the cut on his leg got really infected and sent his temperature scorching high at a temperature of 105°F. During this expedition colonel Cândido Rondon had announced that now every man was for himself so they could abandon their canoes and go into the jungle and Theodore knew that this now would be impossible for him.
