- Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest man to assume the office of President of the United States. He was 42 years old when he became the 26th President.
- Tragically, Roosevelt’s wife and mother both died on the same day on February 14, 1884. He was heartbroken and moved to the Dakota Territory for a couple of years. He left his infant daughter with his sister while out west. After a hard winter the majority of his cattle died and he returned to NY.
