Together with his son Kermit and Brazil’s  most famous explorer, Cândido Mariano da Silva Rondon, Roosevelt accomplished a feat  so great that many at the time refused to believe it. In the process, he changed  the map of the western hemisphere forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Along the way, Roosevelt and his men  faced an unbelievable series of hardships, losing their canoes and supplies to punishing  whitewater rapids, and enduring starvation, Indian attack, disease, drowning, and  a murder within their own ranks.
