President Theodore Roosevelt’s sons, Kermit and Ted Jr., traveled twice to China for The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois, to help build its collection of animal specimens. From 1928 to 1929, the Roosevelt brothers, led by Chinese American explorers Jack (Yang Dize) and Adelaide “Su-Lin” Young, traveled through western China.
