| Theodore Roosevelt |
Theodore D. Roosevelt (; October 27, 1858 January 6, 1919), also known as T.R.,
and to the public (but never to friends and intimates) as Teddy, was the 26th
President of the United States. A leader of the Republican Party and of the
Progressive Party, he was a Governor of New York and a professional historian,
naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier. He's most famous for his
personality: his energy, his vast range of interests and achievements, his model
of masculinity, and his "cowboy" image. Originating from a story from one of
Roosevelt's hunting expeditions, teddy bears are named after him.
As Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Roosevelt prepared for and advocated
war with Spain in 1898. He organised and helped command the 1st U.S.
Volunteer Cavalry Regiment—the Rough Riders—during the Spanish-American
War. Returning to New York as a war hero, he was elected governor. An avid
writer, his 35 books include works on outdoor life, natural history, the American
frontier, political history, naval history, and his autobiography.
In 1901, as Vice President, the 42-year-old Roosevelt succeeded President
William McKinley after McKinley's assassination by anarchist Leon Czolgosz. As
of 2009, he remains the youngest person to become President. He was a
Progressive reformer who sought to move the dominant Republican Party into
the Progressive camp. He distrusted wealthy businessmen and dissolved forty
monopolistic corporations as a "trust buster". He was clear, however, to show
that he didn't disagree with trusts and capitalism in principle, but was only
against corrupt, illegal practises.
His "Square Deal" promised a fair shake for both the average citizen (through
regulation of railroad rates and pure food and drugs) and the businessman. He
was the first U.S. President to call for universal health care and national health
insurance. As an outdoorsman, he promoted the conservation movement,
emphasising efficient use of natural resources. After 1906 he attacked big
business and suggested the courts were biased against labour unions. In 1910,
he broke with his friend and anointed successor William Howard Taft, but lost
the Republican nomination to Taft and ran in the 1912 election on his own one-
time Bull Moose ticket. He beat Taft in the popular vote and pulled so many
Progressives out of the Republican Party that Democrat Woodrow Wilson won
in 1912, and the conservative faction took control of the Republican Party for
the next two decades.

Description Theodore Roosevelt: "I WAS EVER
A FIGHTER." That was the essence of the man,
that the keynote of his career. He met
everything in life with a challenge. If it was
righteous, he fought for it; if it was evil, he
hurled the full weight of his finality against it. He
never capitulated, never sidestepped, never
fought foul. He carried the fight to the enemy.
