TR, Fascinating Relatives - Saints and Sinners

Many assume that the Roosevelts are a political family. In fact, Roosevelts have been involved in every aspect of American life, both sunny and shady. This talk will highlight sportsmen, soldiers, business people, artisans, religious figures, inventors, a candy maker, along with others who are less admirable but no less interesting, bringing to life many colorful Roosevelts who have been overshadowed by their more famous political relatives.

TR, Literary Fella

Although Theodore Roosevelt was a remarkably influential politician, he actually made his living from his pen. His output was extraordinary. The account of what TR wrote, what he read, how he influenced other writers, and his impact on the intellectual life of America is full of surprising anecdotes and reveals much about TR’s mind, his leadership, and his intellectual influence.

TR, Master Diplomat

This little known area of Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency probably did more to keep the world at peace than any other president has achieved. His approach is a blueprint for the best way to conduct foreign policy.

Down the Amazon

TR's Brazilian adventure, undoubtedly his most dangerous which he barely survived, juxtaposed with the journey Tweed Roosevelt made retracing this adventure through country as wild today as it was in 1914.

TR and the Navy

A story on how Theodore Roosevelt used naval power to make the U.S. a world power. This lecture includes a discussion of the current drama on the aircraft carrier named after him, the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN17).

In The Badlands

As a young deputy sheriff in North Dakota, Theodore Roosevelt hunted down dangerous desperadoes, almost got into a duel with a crack shot French aristocrat, and saved a saloon of drinkers by punching out a terrorizing drunkard.
