THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Theodore Roosevelt is one of the most intriguing and complex Americans. Progressive and imperialist, conservationist of American lands and mad hunter of African animals, Theodore Roosevelt had enough complexes to create havoc abroad and ensure prosperity and pride at home. R.I.P., Theodore Roosevelt! You deserve America’s eternal gratitude for the national parks, but for the taking of the Philippines, not so much. See a book on his exploits here.
