Career before president or first lady: I joined the Republican Party in 1880. After that on November 8th, 1881, I was elected to the New York State assembly. After my wife, first born child, and my mother died on the same day I was devastated. So I decided to postpone all political involvement and I traveled to my ranch in the Badlands of South Dakota. I then became a politic hunter and a deputy sheriff for the county. After that I returned to New York in 1886 after my cattle was wiped out. On May 5th 1895 I became the police commissioner of New York City. I was appointed secretary of the navy by William McKinley in 1897. After this the Spanish American war broke out. As you can tell I was not one to avoid the action. I then resigned and formed a regiment in Cuba called the "Rough Riders". I was then nominated for the Medal of Honor. After that once again I returned to New York and was elected governor in a closely fought election. I was elected William McKinley's vice president on March 4th, 1801. But I didn't keep that position for very long. Six months later William McKinley was assassinated and I took office at the age of just 42.

After serving as the 26th President, my friends and I embarked on a safari trip to Africa. We trapped about 11,397 animals. We captured insects, moles, hippopotamus, and elephants. These animals were mounted and sent to the Smithsonian but because there were so many, some were sent to smaller museums. I returned to the U.S. in 1910, and was immediately unimpressed with the policies of my presidential successor William Howard Taft. So I decided to run for president again. I was denied entry by the Republicans. I then formed my own independent party, "The Bull Moose Party". While I was campaigning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on October 14th, 1912, I was shot by a saloonkeeper. I declined medical attention and instead I delivered my speech that lasted 90 minutes. In my last chance at being elected I beat William Howard Taft, but I lost to Woodrow Wilson.
