[DOWNLOAD] Theodore Roosevelt: The Biography by University Press ~ Book PDF Kindle ePub Free

University Press returns with another short and captivating portrait of one of history’s most compelling figures, Theodore Roosevelt.Theodore Roosevelt was a sickly child with debilitating asthma, but he overcame his health problems and integrated his exuberant personality, his vast range of interests, and a “cowboy” persona to become one of the most popular American presidents in United States history – his face now immortalized on Mount Rushmore alongside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln. Roosevelt was home-schooled as a child, attended Harvard College, established himself as a learned scholar of history, entered politics in New York’s state legislature, endured the early deaths of his wife and mother, served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, lead the “Rough Riders” during the Spanish-American War, was elected Governor of New York, served as William McKinley’s Vice President, and, at age 42, became the youngest President of the United States in American history.As President, Roosevelt championed a fairer system for the average American, introduced his progressive “Square Deal” reforms, broke up trusts, regulated railroads, established national parks, projected American naval power around the globe, and built the Panama Canal. This short book tells the intensely human story of a man who changed the world in a way that no one else could.
