Roosevelt Expedition Notes in Africa 1909
Robert Foran, longtime correspondent, documents Theodore Roosevelt's 1909 African expedition. They travel from Mombasa to Nairobi and Entebbe, visit Kapiti Plains, Guaso Nyero, and Njoro, then begin the Victoria Nyanza crossing. Kermit Roosevelt stalks two bongo, earning a world record and aiding a museum collection amid praise from his father. The group reaches Entebbe, greeted by guards, officials, and missionaries before continuing toward Kampala as the expedition enters a new leg.
