Roosevelt Roams in Foreign Climes Enduring African Expedition
The expedition led by Theodore Roosevelt traversed East Africa and the Sudan from April 1809 to March 1910. Kermit Roosevelt and Leslie Tarlton joined, collecting thousands of mammals birds reptiles and fishes while mapping regions from Mombasa to the Nile. The hunt, funded by friends and conducted under Smithsonian auspices, yielded nearly 12 000 vertebrate specimens and showcased Roosevelt’s survival in the jungle amid hippo attacks and long treks.
