President Theodore Roosevelt was one of the most powerful voices in the history of American conservation. Captivated by nature as a child, Roosevelt cherished and promoted our nation’s landscapes and wildlife. After becoming president in 1901, Roosevelt used his authority to establish 150 national forests, 51 federal bird reserves, four national game preserves, five national parks and 18 national monuments on more than 230 million acres of public land.
Many assume that the Roosevelt's are a political family. In fact, Roosevelt's have been involved in every aspect of American life, both sunny and shady. This talk highlights 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 Roosevelt's who have been overshadowed by their more famous political relatives.
