9781610010399: Theodore Roosevelt: An Autobiography by the Progressive President Who Built the National Park System and the Panama Canal

Synopsis

Teddy Roosevelt's story of his life, from his sickly childhood in New York, to his adventures as a hunter and explorer, to his service as Police Chief and then Governor of New York, to his service with the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War, to his selection as Vice President and becoming the youngest American President on the assassination of William McKinley. During his Presidency, Roosevelt was a champion of the Progressive agenda--he constructed the Panama Canal, passed a number of social reforms, initiated the National Park system, and carried out a campaign against the power of the large corporations, earning him the nickname "The Trust-Buster". His mediation in the Russo-Japanese War earned him a Nobel Peace Prize.
