Theodore Roosevelt  

Definition

  • Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), born into a family of prominence and wealth from New York, was an improbable individual to rise up in political life as a corporate reformer. Continually embarking on reform efforts as an officeholder (at city, state, and federal levels), Roosevelt quickly rose through the political ranks, ultimately assuming the presidency in 1901.
