About the author

Born in New York City on October 27, 1858, Theodore Roosevelt became one of the most energetic and influential figures in American public life. He served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909, after previously working as a civil service commissioner, New York governor, soldier, and vice president.

Roosevelt was also a passionate naturalist, explorer, conservationist, and author. He wrote 26 books along with numerous articles, drawing on his interests in history, wildlife, politics, travel, and the outdoors. His best-known works include The Rough Riders, The Winning of the West, and Through the Brazilian Wilderness.

Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906, Roosevelt remained active in politics and public affairs after leaving the White House. He died at his home in Oyster Bay, New York, on January 6, 1919.
