Just after President Theodore Roosevelt?s second term ended in March 1909, he set sail for British East Africa, serving as the commander of an expedition to obtain specimens for the Smithsonian Institution. An eminent big-game hunter, Roosevelt led a team that included his son Kermit, who acted as the safari?s official photographer, and naturalist Edmund Heller, who was responsible for taking photographs, writing specimen descriptions, and caring for the large mammals they collected. The expedition?s specimens were displayed in the Smithsonian?s new museum of natural history the following year
