or, how did Teddy get to be the amazing person he came to be!
I became fascinated with Teddy when I read an article on how someone stole his canoe when he was camping. Making an adventure out of it, he chased the man many, many miles through the wilds of NY State. Then, when he had finally captured the thief, Roosevelt still had to travel several days to bring the thief back to civilization to be properly arrested. I have never forgotten that story.

Teddy might have been crazy at times, but he was never boring. Look for this in the bio. section.
