President Theodore Roosevelt was born in New York City on Oct. 27, 1858, and went on to live a giant life as war hero and youngest U.S. president, with a legacy that still impacts the nation.
Theodore Roosevelt, a titan of political progressivism, war hero, champion of American exceptionalism, Nobel Peace Prize recipient and 26th president of the United States, was born in New York City on this day in history, Oct. 27, 1858. He left a massive imprint on both our national heritage and physical landscape and set in motion the ascendancy of the American Century. Among other astounding achievements, he remains the youngest man to become U.S. president, reaching the Oval Office at age 42.
The American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, an institution Roosevelt championed in his hometown, removed the statue of him on horseback from its Central Park West location earlier this year. His Manhattan birthplace, a part of the National Park Service, was closed throughout the COVID-19 and reopened just last month.
He went on to deliver his 84-minute campaign speech, with the bullet lodged in his chest and blood soaking his white shirt, before he was rushed to the hospital. Roosevelt later said of his resolute reaction to the assassination attempt: 'In the very unlikely event of the wound being mortal I wished to die with my boots on.'
