EXPLANATIONS BELOW
Concept note-1: -A sickly child with debilitating asthma, he overcame his health problems as he grew by embracing a strenuous lifestyle.
Concept note-2: -After several years of this behavior, TR’s father told his sickly son that he needed to get physically fit. In response, TR initiated a vigorous exercise program and, as the story goes, he overcame his asthma.
Concept note-3: -The iconic titles Naturalist, Explorer, Author, Hunter, Cowboy, Family Man, Statesman, Rough Rider, War Hero, and President of the United States must all be invoked to accurately describe the life of Theodore Roosevelt. Born into a wealthy family, as a child Theodore Roosevelt suffered from severe asthma.
Concept note-4: -We believe that TR’s childhood struggles with asthma, and the misconception that he vanquished his illness through exercise, were experiences that profoundly affected his worldview.
