EVENT DETAILS

As the youngest person in United States history to assume the presidency, Theodore Roosevelt hit the ground running, infusing the nation’s highest office with vigor and purpose. Whether it was protecting the nation’s natural resources or boldly guiding the country onto the world stage, Roosevelt attacked issues head on, his penchant for action at times concealing his brilliant tactical mind. An accomplished Roosevelt historian sheds light on this visionary leader.

Douglas Brinkley is professor of history at Rice University and a history commentator for CBS News. He previously served as director of the Theodore Roosevelt Center for American Civilization at Tulane University and is the author of The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America.
