Peace reigned in 1905 as Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, a decorated war hero and later 26th President of the United States, led diplomatic efforts at the Portsmouth Peace Conference. Surrounded by envoys Baron Komura and Kogoro Tamon, Roosevelt's determination and diplomacy brought an end to the Russo-Japanese War. Earlier, in the Spanish-American War, he gained fame as the leader of the Rough Riders, as depicted in this scene from the Battle of San Juan Hill. At home, Roosevelt's beloved wife Edith Kermit Carow and their marriage were a source of joy, as seen in this portrait. Throughout his presidency, Roosevelt's leadership and charisma were celebrated, as evidenced by this postcard commemorating the signing of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty. The enduring image of Roosevelt and his beloved 'Teddy' bear became a symbol of his presidency and American spirit. Even in his later years, Roosevelt continued to inspire, as seen in this 1908-1910 portrait. His legacy as a peacemaker and leader lived on through commemorative items like this medal and the nautical clock he gifted to a friend.
