When the last one of the Rahl children was born in Hale, Michigan in 1906, Jennie, the oldest child, insisted she be named AliceRoosevelt Rahl, because she was born on the same day the President’s daughter was married.
Roosevelt was an activist, independent governor, who did not submit to the Republican organization; he responded to popular disquiet over big business and showed his own concern over conservation of natural resources.
Roosevelt wielded his political power at home for the last time in 1908 by picking his friend, Secretary of War William Howard Taft, as his successor, engineering Taft’s nomination and aiding his election to the presidency.
Roosevelt’s health deteriorated during the final years of his life, partly as a result of tropical fevers contracted on an expedition to the Amazon region of Brazil in 1914.
