Biography

Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States (1901–1909). He is 
noted for his energetic personality, range of interests and achievements, leadership of the
 Progressive Movement, and his "cowboy" image and robust masculinity. He was a leader of the 
Republican Party and founder of the short-lived Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party of 1912. 
Before becoming President, he held offices at the municipal, state, and federal level of 
government. Roosevelt's achievements as a naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier
 are as much a part of his fame as any office he held as a politician.

Marriage and family:
Alice Hathaway Lee (July 29, 1861 in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts – February 14, 1884 in 
Manhattan, New York) was the first wife of Theodore Roosevelt and mother of their child, Alice.
 Roosevelt's wife, Alice died of an undiagnosed (since it was camouflaged by her pregnancy) 
case of kidney failure (in those days called Bright's disease) two days after Alice Lee was
 born. Theodore Roosevelt's mother had died of typhoid fever in the same house, on the same
 day, at 3 am, some eleven hours earlier. After the near simultaneous deaths of his mother 
and wife, Roosevelt left his daughter in the care of his sister, Anna "Bamie/Bye" in New 
York City. In his diary he wrote a large X on the page and wrote "the light has gone out 
of my life."

Presidential pets

A pony called Algonquin joins Teddy Roosevelt 
Teddy Roosevelt's six children had a slew of animals including cats, dogs, snakes, raccoons 
and a one-legged rooster when they lived in the White House more than 100 years ago. 

Quenten Roosevelt, who was about four years old when he moved to the White House, was 
especially fond of a pony called Algonquin. One day, in an effort to cheer up his brother 
Archie, who was sick at the time, Quenten walked Algonquin into the White House, brought 
him up the elevator and walked him right into Archie's bedroom.

Pets and Politics
Unusual pets: Besides the dogs, cats, birds and horses owned by the Roosevelts, they also
 had occasion to host roosters, raccoons, bears and a lion
