Roosevelt was very qualified for president when he entered the office at age 42. An important aspect of his character was his huge interest in fitness, gymnastics, and weightlifting even though he had asthma. He graduated Harvard University in 1880, then entered Columbia University Law School but dropped out after one year to enter public service. Both his wife and mother died on the same day just four years later. During his time grieving, Roosevelt spent 2 years on his ranch in the Badlands of Dakota Territory. He hunted big game, drove cattle and worked as a frontier

After Theodore Roosevelt’s father died of stomach cancer while Theodore was in his second year of college at Harvard College, it pushed and caused him to work even harder than he has been. His father’s death changed the direction of his whole life. After he graduated from Manga Cum Laude in 1880, he ended up enrolling at Columbia Law School, where he ranked twenty-first in his class and then he got married to Alice Hathaway Lee from Massachusetts. Theodore Roosevelt became the governor of New York City before he later became the vice president.

Upon returning from his annual two-week vacation in early July of 2002, the treasurer of the Spring Valley Forest Products Corporation, a Mr. Fred Firr, found the firm's audited balance sheet as of June 30 on his desk. Close scrutiny of the company's financial condition as reported in this document suggested to Mr. Firr that the cash flow picture for the enterprise was deteriorating. In times gone by, the firm had been able to maintain sizeable cash balances in its bank of account, Tippecanoe Trust Company, during the major portion of the fiscal year, and had found only modest seasonal borrowings necessary. Recently, however, a lengthening of credit terms to customers necessitated by intense

On February 12th, Alice gave birth to a daughter, Alice Lee. Two days later, Roosevelt's mom died of,” Typhoid fever” and his wife died of kidney disease only a few hours apart. To deal with his grief he threw himself into the political life. He later left his daughter in the care of his sister and left to the,” Dakota Badlands.” There he bought two Ranches and many

Roosevelt was a man of the outdoors despite being cooped inside the White House completing presidential matters; he enjoyed riding on his horse, so on this particular day, he decided to stroll around the forest southwest of Washington D.C. on his beloved horse. It was a beautiful day outside, the birds were singing, the flowers were blooming, and there was a giant shimmering doorway… Theodore Roosevelt stopped in his tracks.

The battle had a number of lessons for the British. The senior officers had little idea how to conduct a battle with any degree of sophistication. Howe learnt his mistake in making a frontal assault. At every subsequent battle, where possible he carried out flanking assaults. The British troops were indisciplined and disorganised. The guns for which the wrong ammunition was provided were almost certainly battalion weapons manned by foot rather than Royal Artillery.

Roosevelt was the United States’ first progressive president. The Roosevelt family, including his wife, Edith, and six children moved into the White House. With them they brought over fifteen animals including, a small bear, a lizard, four guinea pigs, a pig, a badger, a blue macaw, a hen, a rooster, a hyena, a barn owl, a rabbit, a pony, and five dogs (United States.). This is more animals than there had ever been in the White House at the time. With the Roosevelt’s in the White House it was rarely quiet. The children were well known for their adventures inside the White House. One time, the kids took the family pony, Algonquin, up the White House elevator to Archie’s, Roosevelt and Edith’s second youngest son, bedroom when he was sick (The Life...). In another instance, Andrew Jackson’s portrait was found to have spitballs on it when one of the kids launched a make-believe “attack” on the White House. TR played along and called off the “attack” through the War Department. Newspapers all over the country printed stories of the pranks and when the public heard of the antics, they fell in love with the Roosevelt children. They soon became known as “The White House Gang”. The president’s youngest son, Quentin, once snuck four snakes into the Oval Office and scared a group of congressmen (SparkNotes Editors.). The children were like not like other children that

In “Monkey Hill,” Stan Rice writes about the speaker of the poem who sits at a zoo with his friend observing the spider monkey exhibit. The two stay the whole day to observe these monkeys. The speaker becomes envious of these monkeys and their ability to be confident with exactly where they are and with who they are. Rice argues that our minds imprison us when we are worried about judgment from others. The monkeys in the exhibit felt free and at ease while the two observers were trapped in worrisome about the outside world in fear of how others would perceive them.

This report from the Ohio Historical Society proposes a Historic Site Management Plan for Newark Earthworks State Memorial. It provides details on how to use this plan, its methodology, the publics and advisory panel input and its priorities. Further, this document included a detailed chronological account of prehistory occupancy and important date, as well as, historical ownership and occupancy of the Newark sites. Discussion of their management framework included management strategies, access to the sites, cultural preservation, treatment plan and also, an informational brochure and visitor’s facilities. The appendix of this report include among other things, a brief history of Newark earthwork, deeds and leases, and also recommendations from the advisory panel. I find this significant because it contains valuable historical records of occupation and ownership post the 17th-century, and absence of any records of prior occupation and ownership of the earlier Hopewell culture, that is thought to have built most of these earthworks. Although this source doesn’t answer the question who built these earthwork and why was it built, it gives account of a solid comprehensive timeline from post European contact to modern century that I find relevant to the Newark Great Oval

Their personalities were complete opposite. Roosevelt came from a wealthy New York family and was a war hero during the Spanish-American War. "Roosevelt's flamboyance and ambitions made him the most popular politician of the time, and enabled him to dramatize the issues of progressivism and to become the first modern president" (Goldfield, et al. p. 490) Roosevelts expansion of government power and its consolidation in the executive branch were his most significant accomplishments. The executive branch became reorganized by Roosevelt. "To promote rational policymaking and public management, Roosevelt staffed the expanding federal bureaucracy with able professionals" (Goldfield, et al. p. 490). Roosevelt established the first White House press room. Roosevelt tripled the size of the forest reserves to set aside acres valuable for minerals and petroleum, and to establish dozens of wildlife refuges. Wilson however, "combined public eloquence with a cold personality; he balanced a self-righteousness that led to stubborn inflexibility with an intense ambition that permitted the most expedient compromises" (Goldfield, et al. p. 495) Wilson was a conservative. He was president of Princeton University and became a prominent representative of middle-class respectability and conservative

Since the near end of President John Adams’ one term in the year 1800, the White House has served as home to every U.S. President. Although “the people’s house” as it was referred to by Mrs.Kennedy, is tenanted by only one powerful family at a time their footsteps are not the only ones that grace the hallways of the nearly 55,000 square foot executive mansion. Every four to eight years (in most cases) a family moves out of the White House as another moves in, but there are individuals who stay for decades; these are the many members of the White House residence staff. As the staff are sworn to secrecy by the unspoken code of honor inherited by their professional predecessors, stories such as those found between the covers of this

A review of the house itself suggests that an architectural hierarchy of privacy increases level by level. At first, the house seems to foster romantic sensibilities; intrigued by its architectural connotations, the narrator embarks upon its description immediately--it is the house that she wants to "talk about" (Gilman 11). Together with its landscape, the house is a "most beautiful place" that stands "quite alone . . . well back from the road, quite three miles from the village" (Gilman 11). The estate's grounds, moreover, consist of "hedges and walls and gates that lock" (Gilman 11). As such, the house and its grounds are markedly depicted as mechanisms of confinement--ancestral places situated within a legacy of control and

The White House is the home of the most important person in our country, the President. It has a whooping 35 bathrooms, and 132 rooms. It is stated that it has 412 doors, and 147 windows. That is a lot if you think about it. It has elevators! The president lives there for his or hers entire time being the president, that can be 8 years or 1

The Mexican tile roofs jump out at your eyes, until the gorgeous iron gates of other estates snatch your attention. I can at times be overwhelmed with the feast before my eyes. My favorite structure by far is the towering ruins of the old sugar plantation. The words ruins, sugar, and plantation alone are enough to conjure up the most fascinating stories within ones imagination. I can see the bones of an age past; still standing before me to mourn, and dream about. I live in a grouping of villas where a restaurant and pool facilities are being constructed. I smell fresh sawn mahogany as the carpenters make bars, counters, and doors. I hear stone masons chipping at tiles, and the scraping sounds as they pull out the mortar to lay them.

I would love to travel to France, not just anywhere in France, but to the beautiful Château De Chenonceau in the Loire valley. I would love to see and study the buildings’ amazing history and Architecture. Its' location is beautiful as it was built in the chateau of the Loire valley (a lake in France), and is known for its’ amazing history. The first of many tasks in order to achieve this goal is to figure out the cost of travel, the second task would be to dive into the history of the Chateau, then followed up by the third task of a brief discussion of the Architectural, interior, and the exterior design of the landscape. The Castle has also been predominately been owned by women, was a battleground, a military hospital, and now a museum. Many lives have been shed there, and many
