Easter Sunday, 1903: while most of America was in church, TR was alone in the Yellowstone backcountry — walking 20 miles through the mountains. Solitude in the wild was, for him, a form of prayer.

Happy #NationalPetDay! The Roosevelt White House had dogs, cats, a badger named Josiah, a one-legged rooster, snakes, and a pony that once rode the elevator to visit a sick child.

In spring 1905, TR left Washington for a wolf hunt in Oklahoma Territory. He believed the strenuous life wasn't optional — it was how you kept the mind sharp enough to govern. He wasn't wrong.

#OTD in 1903, papers wondered if TR would have to ski in Yellowstone's deep snow. Spoiler: he did. And took "a header into the snow." He loved every minute.

#OTD in 1903, TR was deep in Yellowstone — no reporters, no politics, just him and naturalist John Burroughs counting elk. They spotted roughly 2,000 in a single day. Some offices have better views than others.

#OTD in 1903, TR arrived at Gardiner, Montana and rode into Yellowstone with naturalist John Burroughs. He entered planning to hunt. He left as the conservation president. 230 million acres would follow.

#OTD in 1903, TR's western tour passed through Medora. He'd once been just a young rancher here. Now he was president — and the Badlands that built him turned out to welcome him home.

#OTD in 1897, TR was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Within a year he'd be preparing the fleet for war — then resigning to go fight in Cuba himself. Twenty years later to the day, the U.S. entered WWI.

#OTD in 1905, weeks after his inauguration, TR hit the road on a speaking tour through the South and West. He believed a president should see the country — not just govern from a desk.

Young TR arrived in the NY Assembly at 23 — the youngest member — and immediately started fighting corruption. His reform bills passed by "very large majorities." The arena was calling early.

#OTD in 1903, TR stopped in Chicago and gave us "speak softly and carry a big stick" in its full context — tied directly to the Monroe Doctrine and the coming Panama Canal.

The Contradictions at the Heart of the American Revolution – Part XXIV — The Theodore Roosevelt Administration: The Birth of the Modern Presidency and the Moral Drama of National Power Theodore Roosevelt's presidency (1901–1909) marked a pivotal shift in American governance, characterized by a commitment to regulating corporate power while expanding U.S. imperial influence. He embodied the contradiction of promoting democracy and fairness domestically while enforcing racial hierarchy abroad. His reforms shaped federal authority and redefined national identity, leading to ongoing tensions in American politics.

There were the Masons, the Odd Fellows, the Red Men and many others. #TeddyRoosevelt founded the Boone and Crockett Club because “Hunting big game in the wilderness is a sport for a vigorous and masterful people.” HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #manliness

Late in the 19thC, many followed the example of #TeddyRoosevelt (d.1919) who claimed he had rescued his manhood w/bar-bells & boxing. Many also championed war as a cure for girlish men. Roosevelt thought war was “… the ideal condition of human society”. #Trump #RFKJr

DYK #TeddyRoosevelt declared in 1905 that #WASP women who used #BirthControl were guilty of “race suicide”. In 1906, he chastised them as cold, shallow-hearted & vicious “race traitors”. In 1911, he warned they were bringing about “racial death”. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #WmnHist
