Teddy Roosevelt

Teddy Roosevelt was more than just the President of the United States. In his early day he had gone looking for Bigfoot. As the Police Commissioner of New York he would go out patrolling the streets at night. As war between Spain and the United States was getting cranked up Teddy began recruiting cowboys, gold miners and prospectors, hunters, gamblers, and Native Americans. Most of the volunteers came from the south or west. The climate in Cuba was hot and humid so Roosevelt wanted men who were able to function in such conditions. Teddy Roosevelt was one of the most interesting men to ever lead our country.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/strange-things-with-chris-james--4931876/support.
