His wife and mother died on Valentine's Day, 1884.

Depressed, he left to ranch in the Dakotas.

Returning to New York, he entered politics and rose to Assistant Secretary of the Navy.

He resigned during the Spanish-American War, organized the first Volunteer Cavalry -the "Rough Riders"- and captured Cuba's San Juan Hill.

Elected Vice-President under William McKinley, he became America's youngest President in 1901.

This was Theodore Roosevelt, born OCTOBER 27, 1858.

In 1909, Roosevelt warned:

"The thought of modern industry in the hands of Christian charity is a dream worth dreaming.

The thought of industry in the hands of paganism is a nightmare beyond imagining.

The choice between the two is upon us."

In his book Fear God and Take Your Part, 1916, Theodore Roosevelt wrote:

"The 7th century Christians of Asia and Africa...had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight.

Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought the Mohammedans who invaded."

Teddy Roosevelt continued:

"The civilization of Europe, America and Australia exists today only because the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization...that is, to beat back the Moslem invader."
