Teddy Roosevelt and His Incredible Amazon Journey

River of doubtAttention history buffs! Don't miss the April 15th, 6:30 pm discussion of Candice Millard's thrilling adventure story, The River of Doubt : Theordore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey in the Sturgeon Bay Library. One of this country's most colorful presidents, Theodore Roosevelt participated in many expeditions in his life. But none was as treacherous or challenging as his journey down an uncharted tributary of the Amazon, the River of Doubt. Last season's history book discussion covered Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough, which focused on Roosevelt's early life. Professor John Harris will once again lead a lively discussion on another aspect of the life of this fascinating personality, President Theodore Roosevelt. 

"This is one of the best books I've ever read."  - Alison Greaves
