- Only two-years-old when Fort Sumter was fired upon, Theodore Roosevelt would spend the rest of his life reckoning with, and trying to live up to, the legacy of the Civil War generation. Acutely aware of the sacrifices made by those who had served their country, and his father's choice to not take up arms, TR would engage with personalities who had served on both sides al his life, and was always measuring himself against these individuals. When a global crisis on par with the Civil War finally came in 1914, he would send his sons to France to play the part he had always dreamed of. After years of expounding the glories of war, he would pay the ultimate price as a father, forever shattering his long held notions of duty and honor.

I never realized TR was that sickly. But, this is really neat. And a family divided. his wife from Georgia and Dad from New York. And TR senior paid so he did not have to serve in War. And formed the Civil war Allotment commission. And at 6 years old watching Lincoln’s Funeral procession. A totally awesome presentation especially his early life. And his Service to this Country.And the history by his children. Loved it !

I am a minor league history nerd. I love and hate TR. One thing that drives me crazy that as Respiratory Care Practitioner and I know scientifically proven that one cannot excercise themselves out of asthma. His PR is stupendous. I read a report by his secretary when he was governor of NY that he drank 5 pots of coffee per day. Caffeine is a bronchodialator to open up asthma airways. He realized that one had to give off an appearance as being healthy.. I believe he hid this problem. This may be how FDR managed his disability. This may be his problem on the Amazon where he had to be carried out.
I think that TR and Trump have a lot in common.
Woof this man.
