Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt, affectionately known as Teddy, served in power between 1901 to 1909. He was widely admired for persuasive public speaking, international relations and administrative skills, and scored highly for his economic management skills and overall vision. Not content with creating numerous iconic monuments, national parks and forests, he also expanded the Navy and kicked-off the construction of the Panama Canal. What’s more, he negotiated the end of the Russo-Japanese War and won himself a Nobel Peace Prize!
Teddy Roosevelt’s Hobby
President ‘Teddy’ Roosevelt was known for being a fan of physical exercise. On one occasion he was sparring with a Naval officer at the White House, and he was smacked in the left eye. It took him several weeks to reveal that he had lost vision in his left eye due to the severity of the punch. Talk about pride.
