Roosevelt the Reformer - Theodore Roosevelt As Civil Service Commissioner, 1889-1895

Sheds light on an important chapter in the biography of the flamboyant 26th president of the United States. From 1889 to 1895 - before he was a Rough Rider in the Spanish-American War and before he oversaw the building of the Panama Canal and won the 1906 Nobel Peace Prize - Teddy Roosevelt served as one of three civil service commissioners. This was a significant period of his life because he matured politically and learned how to navigate through Washington politics.
