Elsewhere on the Web Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) Theodore Roosevelt - His Life and Times on Film Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Alliance Theodore Roosevelt Timeline - U.S. History Interactive One of the United State's most beloved presidents, Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt didn't start life as the robust figure history remembers him as, but as a sickly child with chronic asthma. He overcame his asthma through intense physical exercise and a true love of the outdoor life. Roosevelt was no stranger to tragedy when at the age of 26 he lost both his wife and mother on Valentine's day in 1884. When his early political life was also less than successful he turned his efforts to developing his skills as a writer about life in the old west and western life. Some of his early works include Hunting Trips of a Ranchman (1885), Thomas Hart Benton (1886), and The Winning of the West (1889). Roosevelt would do much to bolster the romantic view of the West and many of the currently held myths about the Old West.

Biografías Roosevelt, Theodore olítico estadounidense (1858-1919), nacido en Nueva York. Con su presidencia, la política intervencionista e imperialista norteamericana de principios de siglo llegaría a su apogeo. Descendiente de una familia de ricos colonos holandeses, estudió en Havard. Inició su carrera política como diputado republicano por el estado de Nueva York (1882-84). Desempeñó diversos cargos públicos en la administración de la ciudad de Nueva York. Nombrado secretario adjunto de la Marina en 1897, dimitió de este cargo para participar en la guerra contra España en Cuba (1898), donde organizó el primer regimiento de voluntarios de caballería. Elegido gobernador del estado de Nueva York en 1898 y dos años después vicepresidente de Estados Unidos con McKinley, a la muerte de éste (1901) accedió a la presidencia. Roosevelt inició entonces una política exterior decididamente intervencionista. En 1902 estableció el estatuto jurídico de las islas Filipinas y un año después impuso a Colombia la separación del Estado de Panamá, garantizando así para Estados Unidos el control del futuro canal transoceánico. En su discurso al Congreso después de su reelección en 1904, reafirmó la doctrina Monroe, reservando a Estados Unidos el derecho a mantener el orden en el hemisferio occidental. Proclamó así la denominación política de big stick (gran garrote) o de mano dura. Fruto de ella fueron las intervenciones militares estadounidenses en la República Dominicana (1905) y Cuba (1906). También medió entre Rusia y Japón (1905), lo que le valdría el Premio Nobel de la Paz en 1906.

C. Martin, 9 November 1908 "If there is one thing for which we stand in this country, it is for complete religious freedom, and it is an emphatic negation of this right to cross-examine a man on his religion before being willing to support him for office." letter to J. C. Martin, 9 November1908 "I believe that this Republic will endure for many centuries. If so there will doubtless be among its Presidents Protestants and Catholics, and very probably at some time, Jews. I have consistently tried while President to act in relation to my fellow Americans of Catholic faith as I hope that any future President who happens to be Catholic will act towards his fellow Americans of Protestant faith. Had I followed any other course I should have felt that I was unfit to represent the American people." letter to J. C. Martin, 9 November 1908

Roosevelt, Theodore
INTRODUCTION
Roosevelt, Theodore (1858-1919), 26th President of the United States (1901-1909), the first president to exploit the public dimensions of his office in an age of mass communications, a reform leader at home and a skilled diplomat abroad. In his lifetime Roosevelt became a personal model, particularly for the country's youth, in a way that no public figure has matched. He was one of the most popular presidents in American history.
EARLY POLITICAL CAREER
After graduation from college, Roosevelt entered politics and abandoned the study of law when, as a Republican, he was elected to the New York State Assembly in 1881. He attracted immediate attention in the press with his upper-class background, colourful personality, and bold independence. In 1884, after serving three years in the Assembly, he left politics briefly, both from grief at the death of his wife and because he had alienated the reform wing of his party that year by supporting James G. Blaine for the presidency. Roosevelt spent the next two years ranching and hunting in the Dakota Territory, which began his identification with the Wild West. He continued to write histories, biographies, and magazine articles, producing more than a dozen books between 1880 and 1900. Back in politics in 1886, he ran unsuccessfully for mayor of New York, campaigned for the national Republican ticket in 1888, and served as Civil Service commissioner in Washington, D.C., from 1889 to 1895. From 1895 to 1897, Roosevelt renewed political ties and enhanced his fame with his energetic, reform-minded service as New York's police commissioner. After campaigning for his party's national ticket again in 1896, he became Assistant Secretary of the Navy and worked to expand and modernize the navy and get the United States into war with Spain over Cuba.

Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt distinguished himself by acts of bravery on 1 July 1898, near Santiago de Cuba, Republic of Cuba, while leading a daring charge up San Juan Hill. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt, in total disregard for his personal safety, and accompanied by only four or five men, led a desperate and gallant charge up San Juan Hill, encouraging his troops to continue the assault through withering enemy fire over open countryside. Facing the enemy's heavy fire, he displayed extraordinary bravery throughout the charge, and was the first to reach the enemy trenches, where he quickly killed one of the enemy with his pistol, allowing his men to continue the assault. His leadership and valor turned the tide in the Battle for San Juan Hill. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
    Theodore Roosevelt was the twenty-sixth president of the United States and Eleanor Roosevelt's uncle. He was also Franklin Roosevelt's fifth cousin and a political role model for both his younger relatives. FDR's political career followed the same trajectory as that of his famous Republican cousin, while Eleanor would embody and extend his progressive political values. So integral was TR's vision to his younger relatives that at least one historian has dubbed the twentieth century, "the Roosevelt century" in recognition of the trio's wide-ranging influence on American life and thought. As governor, TR supported many of the causes that ER would later champion, among them centralized, interventionist government, regulation of women's and children's labor, and taxes on utility and insurance interests. However, TR's progressive views did not endear him to conservative Republicans, who decided to sideline him by nominating him for vice-president in 1900. Their plan backfired when President William McKinley was assassinated in 1901 and TR replaced the fallen leader.

    Scope and Contents:
    Correspondence of Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States. This collection of Roosevelt manuscripts was assembled mainly by Paul V. Bunn, who first came to Roosevelt's attention in 1893 as a civil service examiner when Roosevelt was commissioner. A fervent admirer of Roosevelt, Bunn was a St. Louis hardware dealer and secretary of the local Chamber of Commerce. In 1912 Roosevelt described him as an old and valued friend, and a 'foursquare North Carolina ex-Democrat.' Carbon copies of Bunn's letters to Roosevelt and Roosevelt's usually brief replies are included. A number of other Roosevelt letters are to William Rockhill Nelson, publisher of the Kansas City Star; William H. Moody, United States Attorney General and Supreme Court justice; and Henry B. Needham, journalist and special commissioner to investigate conditions in the Canal Zone in 1908. The remainder of the collection is a group of miscellaneous letters and notes related to Roosevelt's career as civil service commissioner, governor of New York, assistant secretary of the navy, president, and presidential candidate in 1912.

    Roosevelt, Theodore Theodore Roosevelt (October 27, 1858–January 6, 1919) was born in New York into one of the old Dutch families which had settled in America in the seventeenth century. At eighteen he entered Harvard College and spent four years there, dividing his time between books and sport and excelling at both. After leaving Harvard he studied in Germany for almost a year and then immediately entered politics. He was elected to the Assembly of New York State, holding office for three years and distinguishing himself as an ardent reformer.
    In 1884, because of ill health and the death of his wife, Roosevelt abandoned his political work for some time. He invested part of the fortune he had inherited from his father in a cattle ranch in Wyoming, expecting to remain in the West for many years. He became a passionate hunter, especially of big game, and an ardent believer in the wild outdoor life which brought him health and strength. In 1886 Roosevelt returned to New York, married again, and once more plunged into politics. President Harrison, after his election in 1889, appointed Roosevelt as a member of the Civil Service Commission of which he later became president. This office he retained until 1895 when he undertook the direction of the Police Department of New York City. In 1897 he joined President McKinley's administration as assistant secretary of the Navy. While in this office he actively prepared for the Cuban War, which he saw was coming, and when it broke out in 1898, went to Cuba as lieutenant colonel of a regiment of volunteer cavalry, which he himself had raised among the hunters and cowboys of the West. He won great fame as leader of these «Rough-Riders», whose story he told in one of his most popular books.

Their plan backfired when President William McKinley was assassinated in 1901 and TR replaced the fallen leader. Like FDR, TR came to the presidency during a time of economic and political change. America was in the throes of industrialization and corporate monopolies were both powerful and unregulated. Europe was in the midst of an arms race as Germany and England vied with each other to see who could build the most modern fleet. Their rivalry was further exacerbated by the European countries' desire to colonize Africa and Asia. In the Far East, Japan was also flexing its military muscles and looking for territory to conquer.
