Extractions: 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. Elected governor of the state of New York in 1898, he invested his two-year administration with the vigorous and businesslike characteristics which were his hallmark. He would have sought reelection in 1900, since much of his work was only half done, had the Republicans not chosen him as their candidate for the second office of the Union. He held the vice-presidency for less than a year, succeeding to the presidency after the assassination of President McKinley on November 14, 1901. In 1904 Roosevelt was elected to a full term as president.

Nobel Prize And Treaty Of Portsmouth By Theodore Roosevelt Association
The Treaty of Portsmouth resolved the RussoJapanese War and earnedTheodore roosevelt recognition by the nobel Prize Committee.
http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/life/nobelportsmouth.htm

Extractions: Linda Milano, Assistant Director, TRA The negotiations to end the Russo-Japanese war began at Sagamore Hill when President Theodore Roosevelt invited diplomats on both sides, Russia and Japan, to his home in Oyster Bay. After meeting with all of them, he sent the diplomats out on board the presidential yacht Mayflower . He gave instructions to the captain of the yacht not to put into land until an agreement had been reached. (TR never personally owned a yacht although he did have a rowboat or two). TR intervened at several points as described in this delightful essay by Brian B. Wagner of U.S. Grant High School in Portland, Oregon. The treaty was signed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire - the closest port available after both sides hammered out an agreement. Thus the accord is called the "Treaty of Portsmouth"

Extractions: TR intervened in the negotiations to end the Russo-Japanese War at several points as described in this delightful essay by Brian B. Wagner of U.S. Grant High School in Portland, Oregon. Wagner was the winner of the first TR essay contest sponsored by the newly formed Oregon Chapter of the Theodore Roosevelt Association , an outgrowth of the Rough Rider Restoration 2000 Committee*. Speak Softly and Carry a Diplomatic Stick by Brian B. Wagner Portland, OR Theodore Roosevelt is remembered by many as the man who coined the oft-misinterpreted phrase "speak softly and carry a big stick." Numerous critics have convinced themselves that Roosevelt was a testosterone-pumped chest-thumper who lacked any semblance of diplomatic skills and exemplified many less than admirable traits. But one must only look to Roosevelt's exquisite handling of the Russo-Japanese War to see that he was, despite being one of the world's greatest fighters, also one of the world's premier diplomats. When Russia stepped into China in the late 1890's and established a strong presence in Manchuria, Japan was understandably infuriated. They had just defeated China 1895 and felt as if their prize was being snatched from them. They insisted that Russia leave Manchuria. They even went as far as to sign a treaty with England, a treaty which declared the two countries' support for the integrity of China and for Japan's interest in Korea.

Extractions: Roosevelt By courtesy of the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. [Video] byname TEDDY ROOSEVELT (b. Oct. 27, 1858, New York, N.Y., U.S.d. Jan. 6, 1919, Oyster Bay, N.Y.), 26th president of the United States (1901-09) and writer, explorer, and soldier, who expanded the powers of the presidency and of the federal government on the side of public interest in conflicts between big business and big labour. He also engaged the nation in affairs of Asia and Europe. He won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1906 for mediating the end of the Russo-Japanese War, and he promoted the construction of the Panama Canal (1904-14). Roosevelt was born into a moderately wealthy family of Dutch ancestry; his mother, Martha Bulloch of Georgia, was of Scots-Irish and Huguenot descent. He received an excellent education from private tutors and at Harvard College; he was one of the few presidents endowed with an encompassing intellectual curiosity. In 1880 he entered Columbia University Law School. But historical writing and politics soon lured him away from a legal career. During the same year he married Alice Hathaway Lee of Boston and after her death, in 1884, married Edith Kermit Carow, with whom he lived for the rest of his life at "Sagamore Hill," a mansion near Oyster Bay, Long Island, N.Y. colourful exploits, especially in the Battle of Santiago, made him something of a national hero.

theodore roosevelt 26th President of the United States, nobel Peace PrizeAcceptance Speech May 10, 1910. It is with peculiar pleasure
http://www.theodore-roosevelt.com/trnobelprizeaccept.html

Extractions: May 10, 1910 Moreover, and above all, let us remember that words count only when they give expression to deeds, or are to be translated into them. The leaders of the Red Terror prattled of peace while they steeped their hands in the blood of the innocent; and many a tyrant has called it peace when he has scourged honest protest into silence. Our words must be judged by our deeds; and in striving for a lofty ideal we must use practical methods; and if we cannot attain all at one leap, we must advance towards it step by step, reasonably content so long as we do actually make some progress in the right direction. Now, having freely admitted the limitations of our work and the qualifications to be borne in mind, I feel that I have the right to have my words taken seriously when I point out where, in my judgment, great advance can be made in the cause of international peace. I speak as a practical man, and whatever I now advocate I actually tried to do when I was for the time being the head of a great nation and keenly jealous of its honor and interest. I ask other nations to do only what I should be glad to see my own nation do.

Extractions: Description: "President George W. Bush provides the intro to this two-part look at one of America's most beloved presidents, with Richard Dreyfuss as the voice of Theodore Roosevelt. We see a young TR overcome debilitating asthma through a strict regimen of athletic training, witness his Western adventures, rise as New York City Police Commissioner, heroics in the Spanish-American War, and selection as Vice President. With the assassination of President McKinley, 42-year-old TR became the youngest U.S. President. (Part 2:) As president, Teddy Roosevelt tested and extended the limits of the White House like no other before him or since. On the homefront, he battled captains of industry and their corporate trusts, brought labor disputes to an end, and protected the environment. On the world stage, he was determined to make America a dominant power, and his efforts to mediate peace between Russia and Japan would win him the Nobel Peace Prize."

Extractions: Encyclopedia Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt's inexhaustible vitality and enthusiasm, aided by his ability to dramatize himself and to coin vivid phrases, made him a popular president. His intellectual interests did much to elevate the tone of American politics. On the other hand, he drew considerable criticism for his glorification of military strength and his patriotic fervor. He recognized, from the outset of his first administration, the growing demand for reform that was expressed in the writings of the muckrakers Sherman Antitrust Act , ordered the successful antitrust suit against the Northern Securities Company, and led the attack on a number of other large trusts. Altogether, his administration began some 40 suits against trusts. Roosevelt's threat to intervene in the anthracite coal strike of 1902 induced the operators to accept arbitration.

On Jan. 1, 1907, for example, the guest list was as follows: a Nobel prizewinner, a physical culturalist, a naval historian, a biographer, an essayist, a paleontologist, a taxidermist, an ornithologist, a field naturalist, a conservationist, a big-game hunter, an editor, a critic, a ranchman, an orator, a country squire, a civil service reformer, a socialite, a patron of the arts, a colonel of the cavalry, a former Governor of New York, the ranking expert on big-game mammals in North America and the President of the U.S. All these men were named Theodore Roosevelt. In his protean variety, his febrile energy (which could have come from his lifelong habit of popping nitroglycerin pills for a dicey heart), his incessant self-celebration and his absolute refusal to believe there was anything finer than to be born an American, unless to die as one in some glorious battle for the flag, the great "Teddy" was as representative of 20th century dynamism as Abraham Lincoln had been of 19th century union and George Washington of 18th century independence.

Extractions: THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, THEODORE ROOSEVELT, AND HENRY KISSINGER By Sheldon Drobny As part of my analysis of history according to Charles Drobny, my father, here is his view of 20th century American leaders. My father's first experience with political leaders was Teddy Roosevelt. As a child, I was taught in my history class all the positive things about TR. His "Rough Riders" military heroism in the Spanish American War and his bold and progressive presidency were the major subjects taught to us in U.S. history class. However, one of his major life achievements was his award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906 for his part in the peace process ending the Russo-Japanese War. Not many Americans even are aware that there was a war between Czarist Russia and Japan in the early 20th century. It is something that I was not taught in my history class, nor do I suspect it is being taught seriously today in primary and secondary schools. I will attempt to tell you why, and to reveal why TR was no more deserving of winning the Peace Prize than Henry Kissinger, who won the prize for his role in ending the Viet Nam War. My father was very selective about which 20th century American leaders he respected. The only ones he really thought highly of were: Franklin Roosevelt, Senator Albert Gore Sr., Senator Wayne Morse, and Senator William Fulbright. He may have liked some others, but these are the leaders he repeatedly mentioned as being truly courageous. Obviously, by the process of elimination, TR was not one of Dad's favorites. Why? Because he believed that TR was the first American imperial president, a man who advocated an American empire and who set the tone for the kind of foreign policy now causing most of the world to hate us to this day.
