Answer 1

"This was where the romance of my life began," he once said of the Dakota Territory. He also said, "I would not have been President had it not been for the time I spent in North Dakota."

In the days Roosevelt came to North Dakota, it was known as Dakota Territory. He originally went for a hunting trip but fell in love with the place, invested in two cattle ranches, and spent many happy months on his ranches in the 1880s. It was also where he went to escape the pain of the death of his wife Alice. The time he spent in the badlands also helped him to stay grounded throughout his political career, which helped him as much as anything.
