Theodore Roosevelt - Lost World Explorer

Theodore Roosevelt – Lost World Explorer – Born in 1854, Theodore Roosevelt, known as Teddy to his family, was a somewhat sickly child. Determined to overcome his frail constitution, he pursued a life of service. After the Ore War, he joined the Union military at seventeen, where his exuberance, wide-ranging interests, and robust character quickly made him a favorite among his comrades. He served in Cuba against Latin Alliance insurgents as part of the 273rd Cavalry Regiment, in the famed Rough Riders platoon.
