Theodore Roosevelt — portrait of head, full face view, 1904 — Library of Congress

Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) was the twenty-sixth President of the United States — and the youngest, at 42, after McKinley's assassination in 1901. He was also a rancher, a naturalist, a war hero, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, and the architect of the American national park system.

He was born sickly, with severe asthma, and spent his childhood being told what he couldn't do. He responded by doing most of it anyway. When his wife and mother died on the same day in 1884, he left for the Dakota Badlands and spent two years working cattle. He came back.

The speech that produced the "Man in the Arena" — Citizenship in a Republic — was delivered at the Sorbonne in 1910, a year after he returned from fourteen months hunting in East Africa. He had nothing left to prove and gave one of the most quoted speeches in American history. The text is in the public domain.
