Meet the vibrant 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. Even Roosevelt’s critics
admired the man who took on the corporate trusts, charged up San Juan Hill, defied the party “bosses,”
built the Panama Canal, defined conservation, and won a Nobel Peace Prize. Hear his views on
conservation, agriculture, and democracy, all shaped by his Western experience. Portrayed by Arch
Ellwein, President Roosevelt talks of his experiences in Montana as a rancher and sportsman. Following
his “press conference” the Ellwein comes out of character for further discussion.
Acclaimed performer and historian Arch Ellwein, of Sydney, Mont., has toured a dozen states portraying
Theodore Roosevelt. A Montana native, Ellwein was a well-known radio broadcaster in northeastern
Montana and North Dakota before retiring.
