Theodore Roosevelt the Young Naturalist

From boyhood, Theodore Roosevelt showed the restless energy, penetrating intellect, and boundless curiosity that would later make him famous. As a nearsighted and asthmatic child growing up in Manhattan, summer vacations in upstate New York provided a relief from his illness and whetted the budding naturalist's appetite for the outdoors. Back in the city, the American Museum of Natural History's founding charter was signed in the Roosevelt family parlor, and Theodore frequented the institution's halls, even donating specimens to Museum collections. His enthusiasm for the natural world grew, and by the time he began college at Harvard, he had decided on a career as a naturalist. The Theodore Roosevelt Memorial reopens Saturday, October 27, 2012.
