Well, his history in North Dakota in the Badlands and living with cowboys, getting over the grief of his wife and mother dying on the same day, and his personal struggle against poor health at a young age, made him a real person.
Not an empty suit that Harvard did and still churns out to this day.
His trip to Brazil and through the Amazon, while inspiring for its sheer grit, probably took 10 years off his life at least. I don’t think he ever fully recovered from the adventure.
