Theodore Roosevelt is credited with the authorship of about forty five books and hundreds of lectures and articles. In many of them he asserted the importance of pursuing :?the strenuous life.:? He taught his own sons to live lives of courage, sacrifice, and perseverance, whether in public life or private, and he set the example himself. Following his defeat for the presidency in 1914, Theodore Roosevelt embarked on a tour of South America that resulted in his exploring an unmapped and unexplored tributary of the Amazon River, a thousand miles long. The ordeal took him far beyond normal human capacity to undergo fatigue, starvation, disease, and incredible danger. The example set by him and his compatriots of the Roosevelt-Rondon expedition demonstrate what dedicated and persevering men of courage can accomplish.
