Among his many accomplishments, Roosevelt was the youngest president, at 43 years old; lieutenant colonel in the Spanish-American War; a Nobel Peace Prize winner; and an integral supporter of the Panama Canal. Theodore Roosevelt, one of the most beloved American figures, was also the inspiration for the teddy bear.
