Tweed Roosevelt lists 100 firsts by Theodore Roosevelt, ranging from the more widely known at number one, that Roosevelt was the first American to win a Nobel Prize, to the obscure at number 100, that Roosevelt was the first American president to have a wife sail on a battleship. In addition to a photograph of the author, the column features ten photographs of Roosevelt, some of which depict his firsts, from riding in a car to flying in an airplane.
