A contemporary of Theodore Roosevelt called him “a steam engine in trousers.” TR lived life to the fullest and sometimes on the edge. As a precocious youngster, he read grown-up books and exhibited dead animals in his home’s “natural history museum.” As an adult, this Harvard graduate was also a cowboy, an explorer, a conservationist, an author and intellectual, and a soldier who glorified war. As the 26th President of the United States (1901-1909), he tried to reign in Big Business through government regulations. But TR revealed a darker side when the United States entered World War I in 1917.

On the evening of Tuesday, March 21 at 7:00 p.m., history professor Tim Moore will appear at the North Berrien Historical Museum to present a fascinating look at Theodore Roosevelt. Moore has taught American History and the History of Modern East Asia at Lake Michigan College since 2003. No RSVP is required for this free program.
