Review Quotes: "A rich, dramatic tale that ranges from the personal to the literally earth-shaking." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"[A] fine account . . . There are far too many books in which a travel writer follows in the footsteps of his or her hero--and there are far too few books like this, in which an author who has spent time and energy ferreting out material from archival sources weaves it into a gripping tale." --The Washington Post
"No frills, high-adventure writing . . . Millard's sober account is as claustrophobic as a walk through the densest jungle, and as full of vigor as Roosevelt himself." --Entertainment Weekly
