Author's Note: Teddy Roosevelt was a seriously bad dude. He cleaned up the streets of New York, he punched out a gunman in the Wild West, and he led the charge up San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American war on horseback. He boxed and wrestled actively while in office, and when a would-be assassin shot him in the chest before a speech, he gave the speech before going to the hospital.
He wasn't called the Imperial President for nothing. He won the Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize.
And yes, that's the real Teddy. Sources are here and here. It's no wonder nobody makes those glasses you wear like monocles anymore. They make you look just plain mean.
