Photos from: "Theodore Roosevelt" reminisces about time in the west




Theodore Roosevelt was, in many ways, larger than life. Born of a privileged family he headed west as a young adult to operate a ranch. He was a cowboy, hunted big game, elected to state and federal office (including U.S. President), authored 35 books and won a Nobel Peace Prize. His teenaged daughter once said of TR, "He wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening." He was a man of great vigor and boundless energy with a great love for the American west and its people.
