1. In all three sources it talks about Roosevelt’s son Kermit and their father-son expedition across the River of Doubt. Also, all sources talk about the dangers they faced on the journey. In addition, all three articles said that Theodore suffered from depression and he went down to visit his son Kermit to escape political problems.
2. In the first two articles it said that both Theodore and Kermit made the expedition but in the last article it says that Kermit ending up committing suicide. Also, in the first two articles it said that Theodore’s decision to abandon the Republican Party and run as a Progressive had been bitterly criticized and caused many problems for him.
3. In the first article it talks about how Theodore Roosevelt carried a lethal dose of morphine with him for many years. Also, it said that Theodore though about taking his own life. It did not say this in any other article. I think this is a very good possibility that Theodore thought about taking his own life because of all of the troubles and diseases he went through on his journey. I could verify the validity by going on several more websites to confirm these facts.
