Features: In 1912, before delivering his campaign speech, Theodore Roosevelt was shot. After the police subdued the attacker, Roosevelt pressed a handkerchief against the still-bleeding wound and delivered his speech as planned. Those who knew that Theodore Roosevelt had been a frail child would not have imagined that he could one day perform such an act requiring great willpower and physical strength. However, even as a young boy, Roosevelt showed extraordinary determination. He was deeply interested in nature and loved it very much. As a child, Theodore Roosevelt spent a lot of time collecting, drawing, and documenting specimens of animals and birds. As President, Roosevelt played a significant role in establishing the U.S. system of national parks. This book details the enjoyable childhood of the 26th U.S. President and many of his achievements, including the construction of the Panama Canal and the receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize.
