Theodore Roosevelt lived during the latter half of the 19th century, when technology and industry were changing many aspects of life in the United States. He was a strong believer in American excellence leading these changes.
Roosevelt was a hugely energetic man, with great intelligence and accomplishment. He was the youngest man to ever become a US President. He wrote 38 books in his lifetime and jointly authored more. He won the Nobel Peace Prize and was later awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
This class will cover challenges that Roosevelt faced and how he overcame them. He was a sickly, asthmatic child of aristocratic background, yet became a strong athletic man who could relate to the common man. This class will especially bring out the larger than life personality of Roosevelt, that made him the center of national discussion.
