His wife and mother both tragically died on Valentine's Day, 1884.
Depressed, he left New York to ranch cattle in the Dakotas. Several years later, he returned to New York and entered politics.
Rising to the position of Assistant Secretary of the Navy, he resigned during the Spanish-American War to organized the first Voluntary Cavalry, known as the "Rough Riders," which captured Cuba's San Juan Hill.
He was Vice-President under William McKinley and in 1901 became America's youngest President.
His name was Teddy Roosevelt, born this day, October 27, 1858.
President Roosevelt warned in 1909:
"The thought of modern industry in the hands of Christian charity is a dream worth dreaming.
The thought of industry in the hands of paganism is a nightmare beyond imagining. The choice between the two is upon us."
