The -discoverer OF a river in South
America 1000 miles long" Colonel
Roosevelt assured the National Geo
graphic society that he had put this
river on the map and challenged all the
,cartographers IN the world to disprove
his achievement
The colonel had appeared before a
Washington audience on a previous
occasion as an explorer. but never as
discoverer, and he was cheered to
the echo as he declared that the carto-
graphers and geographers of all ma
tions were wrong in their maps of the
vrflds of Brazil wherein he found and
traced the "Duvida River" or. as now
more famfliarly known, the River Of
Doubt"
Scientists. the colonel declared, had
attempted TO dispute his discovery.
Tracing on a blackboard with a piece
OF chalk the river OF his finding, he
Declared, emphatically:

yet shown this river. Scientists have
