Former US President Theodore Roosevelt, Governor Jackson, Mr Selous and Dr Mearns at Nairobi station on their way to Kapiti Plains_1909
When Theodore Roosevelt retired from the presidency in 1909, he was only 50 years old. The youngest former president in American history, he was looking for adventure and for a project that would take him away from Washington, D.C., and politics. A naturalist at heart, he turned, not surprisingly, to his boyhood fascination for natural history. Three weeks after the inauguration of his successor, William Howard Taft, Roosevelt set out for British East Africa to hunt big game. The Smithsonian Institution co-sponsored the expedition. Many of the specimens were destined for the new U.S. National Museum building, then under construction on the Mall and today known as the National Museum of Natural History.
Roosevelt was accompanied on the trip by his son, Kermit (age 19), who served as official photographer, and three representatives from the Smithsonian: Major Edgar A. Mearns (1856-1916), a retired Army surgeon and field naturalist, J. Alden Loring (1871-1947) and Edmund Heller (1875-1939), both zoologists.
On March 23, 1909, Roosevelt and the expedition team set sail from New York City aboard the steamer Hamburg. In Naples, Italy, they took a second steamer to Mombasa, and arrived on April 21. Two days later Roosevelt’s outfit embarked on a 581-mile rail journey to Port Florence on Lake Victoria. Roosevelt later mused that naturalists would have found it “the most interesting railway journey in the world.” At the Kapati Plains station they joined up with the rest of the expedition party. Some 250 local guides and porters were employed over the course of the expedition. At various destinations they set up vast tent cities and carried the equipment and several tons of salt for skin preservation. Roosevelt’s tent had a tub and a library of 60 volumes.
The expedition traveled throughout what is today southern and western Kenya, the Congo, Uganda, and southern Sudan by train, horse, camel, and a steamboat on the Nile—stopping for weeks at each destination to collect specimens. They hunted elephants on the slopes of Mount Kenya, and rare white rhinoceros in the Lado region of British Uganda. In late February 1910 they hunted eland, a species of antelope, in the Belgian Congo. They ended the expedition in Khartoum, Sudan, on March 14, 1910. Before returning to New York, Roosevelt and his son first traveled to Oslo, Norway, to collect the Nobel Peace Prize he had been awarded five years earlier.

This image is part of a collection taken during the Paul J. Rainey Expedition to British East Africa. Following the conclusion of the Smithsonian-Roosevelt Expedition, Rainey asked Edmund Heller, a Smithsonian naturalist, to assist on an expedition to British East Africa. Important localities visited included the Mombasa region, the Loita Plains, Nairobi and vicinity, Fort Hall, Mount Kenya and vicinity and Kavirando Bay region of Lake Victoria. Heller also made a trip independent of the expedition to Mount Lololokwi
