A Biographical Summary of Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt was born into a wealthy New York family in 1858. He suffered from asthma and other health problems as a child, but he overcame these challenges through sheer determination and a rigorous exercise regimen. He excelled academically, graduating from Harvard University in 1880.

Roosevelt entered politics in the 1880s, serving in the New York State Assembly and as a civil service commissioner. He gained national attention for his role in the Spanish-American War, where he led the Rough Riders, a volunteer cavalry regiment, to victory in Cuba.

Following the war, Roosevelt served as Governor of New York and then as Vice President under President William McKinley. When McKinley was assassinated in 1901, Roosevelt became the youngest president in American history at the age of 42.
