Background

Born in New York city, the 2nd of four children to Theodore Roosevelt, Sr. (1831–1877) and Mittie Bulloch (1834–1884).

His father Theodore Roosevelt, Sr was a wealthy and powerful member of New York aristocracy who was initially active in the foundation of Confederacy cause, but who later switched sides and made a fortune through the Allotment System which deducted money from the pay of Union soldiers to "support" the families back home.

The Roosevelt clan migrated from the Netherlands to New Amsterdam (later New York City) towards the end of the 17th Century, gradually growing in political, financial and social influence with the city.

Both Franklin D. Roosevelt and President Theodore Roosevelt shared the same common ancestry back to Nicholas Roosevelt (1658-1742), one of the children of Claes Martenzsen Van Rosenvelt, the imigrant ancestor of the Roosevelt family.

Theodore was home schooled, before entering and matriculating at Harvard College in 1876 with the academic honor magna cum laude. His father died two years later in 1878 and 1880 he graduated from Harvard and entered Columbia Law School.

One year later in 1881, he dropped out of his study to become a state politician for New York as a dedicated Republican. In 1882, he published the book The Naval War of 1812, considered a credible historic work and kicking off Theodore's life long love affair with the power of creating, editing and writing history.

In February 1884, his wife Alice Lee as well as his mother died of separate diseases within two days of one another. Theodore abandoned his political career and headed out to the badlands of North Dakota to set up his own ranch.

His adventure was cut short by the total failure of his ranch and finances, being forced to return to New York by 1885. In 1886, he unsuccessfully ran as the Republican candidate for New York city mayor. Later that same year he married Edith Kermit Carow in London.

Following the election of President Benjamin Harrison, Roosevelt was appointed head of the US Civil Service Commission, a post he held until 1895. He was appointed as president of the New York City Police Commissioners and undertook a major expansion and re-structuring of the New York police force. In 1897, President William McKinley appointed Roosevelt Assistant Secretary of the Navy.

Roosevelt was instrumental in building up the navy and preparing it for the Spanish-American War, at one point infamously declaring a love of war saying "I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one".

So keen in facing war first hand, when war was declared in 1898, Roosevelt immediately resigned as Assistant Secretary to the Navy, instead commissioning a mercenary unit headed by Ivy League friends fron New York and forming the First US Voluntary Cavalry Regiment also known as the "Rough Riders".

He personally led his militia into battle on several occassions and demonstrated a love of hunting and killing human beings as much as hunting any other animals- a life long passion. He was promoted to the rank of Colonel and preferred to be called simply "The Colonel" by his closest friends for the rest of his life.

After leaving his militia, Roosevelt was elected the Republican Governor of New York in the same year. Two years later, US Senator for New York Thomas Collier Platt led a team that successfully forced President McKinley to accept Roosevelt as his running mate. In 1900, Roosevelt was elected Vice President to President William McKinley.

On September 6, 1901 President McKinley was shot twice by Jesuit trained Catholic assassin Leon Czolgosz. In spite of being shot at point blank range, McKinley survived and was actually starting to recover. He was deliberately poisoned with mild botulism in his first solid meal on the morning of 12th September, by the afternoon he was gravely ill and by the 14th September 1901 he died from "gangrene" infection.

In the lead up to the 1904 Republican Convention, Senator Mark Hanna, the previous campaign manager and most favoured candidate mysteriously died in February, leaving Roosevelt a clear run for the party nomination and easily won the presidential election.
