His leadership in New York helped catapult him to national prominence. He also served as vice president under McKinley from 1901 until becoming president.

He died on January 6, 1919, at the age of 60, at his home in Sagamore Hill National Historic Site in Cove Neck, New York. Roosevelt's legacy continues to be celebrated for his contributions to American politics, foreign policy, and conservation.
