With the decision by the American Museum of Natural History in New York, in conjunction with the Mayor, to remove the equestrian statue of President Theodore Roosevelt, it is time to revisit the life of this exceptional human being. As the 26th President of the United States (1901-1909), he combined his life as a crusader for truth, an outdoorsman, naturalist, Police Commissioner, soldier, Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Vice President into one spectacular synthesis and tapestry. The reason his monument stood from 1940 till now in front of the American Museum of Natural History is that he did more for wildlife preservation than any other President.
