About The Roosevelts
Theodore Roosevelt charged into the presidency at 42, the youngest ever, bringing a big-game hunter's energy to trust-busting, conservation, and the creation of five national parks. His distant cousin Franklin led the country through the Great Depression and World War II, his calm fireside chats carrying reassurance into living rooms across America. Together, the two Roosevelts reshaped what Americans expected of their president, and of their government.
