Theodore Roosevelt is one of the most fascinating and complicated figures in US history. Born into a life of wealth and privilege, he dedicated himself to politics and social reform, championing causes such as workers’ rights, corporate regulation, and environmental conservation. Along the way he cultivated an image as one who lived what he termed, “the strenuous life” which included military heroics in the Spanish American War, a stint as a cowboy, and hunting and hiking through the American wilderness. This talk explores these and many other aspects of the 26th President’s extraordinary life.
