Theodore Roosevelt – Fascinating Facts

Theodore Roosevelt, also known as “Teddy” Roosevelt, became America’s 26th President.  He assumed the Presidency after William McKinley was assassinated in 1901.  He later won a second term.  Here are a few other fascinating facts about President Roosevelt:

• As a child, Roosevelt watched the funeral procession for Abraham Lincoln from a window in his grandfather’s home on Union Square (NYC).
• Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest man to assume the office of President of the United States.  He was 42 years old when he became the 26th President.
• Tragically, Roosevelt’s wife and mother both died on the same day on February 14, 1884.  He was heartbroken and moved to the Dakota Territory for a couple of years.  He left his infant daughter with his sister while out west.
• In 1905, Teddy Roosevelt walked his niece, Eleanor Roosevelt, down the aisle to wed Franklin D. Roosevelt.
• President Roosevelt later remarried and had 6 more children.  He was his children’s favorite playmate!
