Theodore Roosevelt: Philosophy And Programs

Abstract: 4 pages in length. Considered one of the most charismatic yet brusque of all American presidents, Theodore Roosevelt never stood on convention when there was an agenda he felt required immediate attention. His involvement with the Spanish/American war, the Transcontinental Railroad and the attempt to manipulate policy to suit his own objectives speaks to man who - while elected to serve the country - more times than not chose the route that best reflected his self-serving interests, as well. As one of the "Rough Riders," Roosevelt was one of the most notable public figures to openly recognize the inherent struggles of life in western cities, but he was also quick to point out there was nothing like making a name for oneself through the efforts of hard work. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
