<p>Perhaps America's greatest peacetime President, Theodore Roosevelt was a man of contradictions: a sickly child who came to symbolize strength and virility; a child of wealth who fought the wealthy on behalf of the common man; A New Yorker who made himself a cowboy; a hunter who built the national park system; a man who enjoyed war but accomplished peace.  Connecting the dots between these seeming contradictions is a fascinating story, the story of Theodore Roosevelt.  </p>

Theodore Roosevelt

I learned to love history from my father's stories.  He had a way of teaching history, not as a theory or series of events, but as a human story about real people who shaped the world by their choices.  I want to share that love with my own son by telling real stories of great and interesting people.  I created the History Stories for my Son Podcast because I want to spread that love of history as far as possible.  The stories on this podcast are about people who made a difference in their own time, told at a level accessible to everyone, including kids learning about them for the first time, but also engaging for even the most knowledgeable history buff.  You are invited to join a community where we remember that history is a story that should be shared with every generation.
