Join Clay Jenkinson in this Chautauqua-style special event as he brings President Theodore Roosevelt to life. Our 26th President is known for many things including his conservation of over 230 million acres of public lands, initiating the Panama Canal, and winning the Nobel Peace Prize. In this unique program, Roosevelt will comment on modern times and current headlines as well as formative moments from his own lifetime.
Sickly as a child, Theodore Roosevelt was determined to extract the most out of life. His triumph over his infirmities converted him into an advocate for the strenuous life. His biography contains enough adventure for multiple lives: New York City police commissioner; South Dakota rancher; New York governor; Spanish-American War hero; Vice-President and, ultimately, President of the United States.
Following the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in as the youngest President in the nation’s history at 42-years-old. Known as a man of vigor and purpose, he brought that attitude into the White House. As president, Roosevelt is best known for progressive reforms, trust-busting, and an aggressive foreign policy. For those out West his enduring legacy is as the originator of America’s magnificent national park system.
