He collected specimens for the Smithsonian Institution and for the American Museum of Natural History in New York, providing thousands of invaluable samples for their collections.
Roosevelt’s group was led by famous hunter-tracker R.J. Cunninghame, and often accompanied by Frederick Selous, a famous big game hunter and explorer.
