Preserving
the memory of Theodore Roosevelt; Father, Rough Rider, Conservationist, Naturalist,
Badlands Rancher, and Republican/Bull Moose Progressive statesman whose policies
and accomplishments included the crafting the Square Deal, sending out the
Great White Fleet, endorsing Big Stick Diplomacy, successfully preserving
what is now thousands of acres of national park land including the Grand Canyon,
winning the Nobel Peace Prize as well as the Medal of Honor and inspiring
the creation of the teddy bear. Several
of TR's residences have been preserved, including his primary residence at
"Sagamore Hill", "Pine Knot" his woodsy Presidential retreat
and a museum on the site of his birth home. TR
is the youngest person to ever serve as President of the US.
In addition to being a President, this remarkable man was a New York Legislator,
New York Governor, Police Commissioner of NYC, on the Civil Service Commission,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and Vice President. He served in the military
with distinction rising to the rank of Colonel and leading the "Rough
Riders". He was an author writing over 30 books (on many subjects) and
an expert naturalist as well. After
serving as President,
TR still had an incredible passion for adventure and thirst for knowledge.
This led him to the Brazilian jungle and an African Safari.He
never completely overcame his grief at the death of his first wife, but found
a constructive outlet as a rancher. That experience in North Dakota laid the
foundations of his strong feelings on conservation. Eventually TR remarried
and was an active father of six children in all.
It is little wonder the face of Theodore Roosevelt graces Mt. Rushmore as one
of the greatest leaders of United States.
