Nascut la New York pe 27 octombrie 1858, Teodore Roosevelt a fost guvernatorul statului New York inainte de a deveni cel de-al 25-lea vicepresedinte al Statelor Unite ale Americii. La varsta de 42 de ani Roosevelt a devenit cel mai tanar presedinte din istoria Statelor Unite, dupa ce presedintele William McKinley a fost asasinat in 1901. Personalitate cu valente multiple, s-a remarcat ca politician, scriitor, explorator, naturalist si reformator american.
A ocupat functia de presedinte timp de doua mandate, pana in 1909. Primul contact cu lumea politicii il are in perioada studentiei, cand a aderat la Partidul Republican, in cadrul caruia a fost un reformator, cautand sa promoveze ideile conservatoare ale partidului in secolul XX. In 1912, Teodore Roosevelt a candidat pentru un al treilea mandat la presedintie, fara a fi insa ales. De aceasta data a reprezentat Partidul Progresiv, al carui lider a fost.
Cunoscut pentru promovarea unor politici antimonopol si conservatorism ecologic, Teodore Roosevelt a fost distins in 1906 cu Premiul Nobel pentru Pace pentru eforturile pe care le-a depus pentru incheierea razboiului ruso-japonez. In plus fata de aceste pozitii oficiale, Teodore Roosevelt a fost membru al Institutului American de Arte si Litere, fondator al Boone and Crockett Club si al Asociatiei Atletice Nationale a Colegiilor (NCAA).
