If you want to discover the captivating life of Teddy Roosevelt, then keep reading...
The Roosevelt family would become a political dynasty in the United States, spanning from the late 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. The Roosevelt presence in America can be traced all the way back to their trail-blazing ancestor, Claes Martenszen van Roosevelt, a Dutchman who came to the New World with high hopes in 1644. Like many of those early American stories, the life of this very first American Roosevelt was one that went from rags to riches.
Claes came to America with not much more than the shirt on his back, but in the ensuing years, he managed to generate considerable wealth. Teddy's ancestor set up shop in a nascent New York (it was actually called New Amsterdam in those days), where he set the foundation for his future family's wealth through a variety of enterprises that included banking, real estate, glass manufacturing, and sugar crops, among other things.
So it was that several generations later, by the time Teddy Roosevelt was born on October 27th, 1858, the Roosevelts were one of the most affluent families in America. Despite the fact that he was born into great wealth, Teddy's parents tried hard to make sure that their son didn't take his inheritance for granted. His father, Theodore Senior, who was himself a wealthy businessman, made it a habit to make sure that his son Teddy realized how blessed they were.
