The Baxter County Library Foundation is pleased to present a seven-part, lecture series entitled Life & Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States. Join former adjunct professor at the University of Mississippi School of Law, Jim Carroll, J.D., as he presents lectures on the dynamics of the life of Theodore Roosevelt. Explore the American experience of Roosevelt’s early childhood overcoming the odds of being sickly & weak to a robust Rough Rider charging up San Juan Hill. Discover Roosevelt’s philanthropy, philosophy, religion, and climb to power as the NYC Police Commissioner. We will explore Roosevelt’s ascendancy to become New York Governor and ultimately the 26th President of the United States. Experience Roosevelt’s endeavor & foreign policy to build the Panama Canal and achieving the coveted 1906 Nobel Peace Prize.
