Theodore Roosevelt was born October 27, 1858 in New York, New York. Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States of America. He was president from 1901 to 1909. Theodore was the youngest president at that time, at the age of 43. He loved to hunt, especially big game. Roosevelt created the National Park and saved some animals from extinction, because of poaching. Theodore Roosevelt also has a elk species named after him, the Roosevelt Elk. He died January 6, 1919 in Oyster Bay, New York. Theodore Roosevelt is my hero because he loved America, loved the outdoors, and thought about others.

Roosevelt was one of the best presidents in America because he did things for the good of the country. He didn’t let other countries or people push him around or change his mind. He stood for America and its people.
