Theodore Roosevelt’s bold and bountiful reputation as an American icon had its genesis with the Rough Riders in the short, bloody but significant Spanish American War to free the Cubans from the tyranny of Spain. This week in 1898 launched TR into history.

The Rough Riders & TR’s Crowded Hour

Our 26th president, Theodore Roosevelt, was a lauded statesman, orator, and storyteller. He wrote more books than any other president and, indeed, more than most authors and intellectuals. To commemorate him and his North Dakota legacy, Roosevelt scholar and re-enactor Steve Stark has made selections from his speeches, books, and letters for a special Dakota Datebook series. 

Throughout 2019, listen for Dakota Datebook: Remembering Theodore Roosevelt in the regular Dakota Datebook time slots. Funding for this series is provided by the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation.
