Few figures in American history have packed as much life into their years as the man born in New York City in 1858. This Harvard-educated dynamo rose to become the 26th President of the United States, leaving an indelible mark on the office (Review). Known for his "big stick" diplomacy and progressive "Square Deal" domestic policies, Roosevelt was a force of nature whose passion for the outdoors also led him to establish numerous national parks and forests, earning him the title of the "conservationist president."
