R. , and to the public (but never to friends and intimates) as Teddy, was the 26th President of the United States. A leader of the Republican Party and of the Progressive Party, he was a Governor of New York and a professional historian, naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier. He is most famous for his personality: his energy, his vast range of interests and achievements, his model of masculinity, and his cowboy image. Originating from astory from one of Roosevelt\'s hunting expeditions, teddy bears are named after him. His prodigious literary output includes twenty-six books,over a thousand magazine articles, thousands of speeches and letters. President Harrison, after his election in 1889, appointed Roosevelt as a member of the Civil Service Commission of which he later became president. This office he retained until 1895 when he undertook the direction of the Police Department of New York City.In 1897 he joined President McKinley\'s administration as assistant secretary of the Navy. While in this office he actively prepared for theCuban War, which he saw was coming, and when it broke out in 1898, went to Cuba as lieutenant colonel of a regiment of volunteer cavalry,which he himself had raised among the hunters and cowboys of the West. He won great fame as leader of these Rough-Riders, whose storyhe told in one of his most popular books.
