The 26th U.S. President, Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), was a Rough Rider, a Bull Moose, and a dedicated environmentalist. A lover of nature since he was young, Teddy Roosevelt established 150 national forests, 51 federal bird reserves, 18 national monuments, five national parks, four game preserves, and a stunning 230 million acres of public land. No one person has had such an astounding affect on the preservation of wilderness in the entire history of the United States.
