The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Documentaries — Season 1, Episode 5: Theodore Roosevelt and The American Century

Episode synopsis

Known during his time as "the American Lion," Theodore Roosevelt led the U.S. into the 20th Century. He was the first president to travel abroad, the first to travel on an airplane - a grandiose figure of huge personality, Roosevelt led enough life and followed enough passions for five lifetimes. One of his many legacies is the move towards conserving the nation's abundant natural resources for future generations.
