Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was one of the more productive and interesting presidents the United States has ever seen. Teddy Roosevelt established a lot of first not only for a president, but for an American. He was the first president to travel outside the United States when he went to Panama. He was the first American to win the Nobel Prize for his negotiating skills in the Russo-Japanese war. Teddy Roosevelt also became the first president to be known by just his initials, T.R., and also was the first president in flight when he took a four minute flight in a Wright Brothers plane. Theodore Roosevelt was also the youngest person to ever hold office outside of J.F.K. Theodore Roosevelt is known as being the first to do many things, but is also known for his personality and mental abilities/skills. Teddy had a photographic memory and was a great dictator despite the fact that he was blind in his left eye attained from a boxing injury. Teddy could dictate letters to two separate secretaries while also reading a book. Teddy was also known for his toughness, evidenced in his enjoyment in skinny-dipping in the Potomac River during winter, and by the fact that he gave a ninety minute speech after having just been shot, but concluding no major damage had been done despite the fact that he was bleeding through the whole speech.(Interesting Teddy Roosevelt Facts).
Outside of being the first person to do many things and his interesting behaviors Teddy Roosevelt was also a prolific president. Teddy Roosevelt was one of the best foreign affair presidents this nation could have ever hoped to have had. He ended the American policy of isolationism and sought to bring order and justice to American commerce. He also gained the nickname "Trust-Buster" through the many corporations he brought to people controlled status. He began work on the panama canal, negotiated the end of the Russo-Japanese war, enabled many Americans to earn a living wage through his Square Deal, while also building up the American Navu thus making the United States a global power. He reduced the national debt by over $90,000,000 and passed many acts such as the Meat Inspection Act. He also broke up disputes in Morocco and Venezuela while also obtaining the passage of the Drago Doctrine that outlawed the use of force in collecting foreign debt. Many of his policies were used by many future presidents and his strong nature shows what America stands for at its best(Tweed Roosevelt).

Theodore Roosevelt Island

This island located in the Potomac River is a great honor to the love that Teddy had for being an outdoorsman. I am at this point deciding to give up on listing figures on how many people visit a location because no sites seem to list visitors.
