Discover the fascinating history of one of the most gifted and controversial figures of the 20th century.
Theodore Roosevelt, our 26th president, turned himself from a sickly, asthmatic child into a robust and powerful leader. He fought corruption, championed progressive reform, wrote 50 books, and led the cause of conservationism.
Known for his dynamic and exuberant personality, he grew in stature after leaving office. Called bully by some and fearless by many, this towering figure is honored on Mount Rushmore and in the national memory.
