More from Theodore Roosevelt
"I am a man of the West, and I have lived among the cowboys and the hunters and the miners and the ranchmen, and I know them, and I know their ways."
"The most important thing for the white man is to be sure that he does not give way to the black man. We have got to keep our civilization pure."
"I have been a good deal of a pioneer in my life, and I have found that the only way to get on is to be a little bit ahead of the times."
"I have a perfect horror of the man who is always saying, 'I wish I had done so and so.'"
"We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag of the anarchist."
About Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
26th US President (1901-1909), Progressive trust-buster, conservation pioneer, and the youngest person to assume the presidency (after McKinley's assassination). Closely associated with William Howard Taft (his hand-picked successor and later 1912 election rival) and Gifford Pinchot (his Forest Service chief and conservation co-architect). For an intellectual contrast, see J.P. Morgan, financier and architect of Northern Securities (1837-1913) — TR's 1902 antitrust suit against Morgan's Northern Securities railroad combination was the founding act of progressive antitrust enforcement. Their famous 1902 White House meeting — where Morgan reportedly said 'send your man to my man' and TR refused — is the canonical moment of presidential authority asserting over private financial power.
