Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (/ˈroʊzəvɛlt/ roh-zə-velt;[a] October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919) was an American statesman, author, explorer, soldier, naturalist, and reformer who served as the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909. As a leader of the Republican Party during this time, he became a driving force for the Progressive Era in the United States in the early 20th century.
Born a sickly child with debilitating asthma, Roosevelt successfully overcame his health problems by embracing a strenuous lifestyle. He integrated his exuberant personality, vast range of interests, and world-famous achievements into a "cowboy" persona defined by robust masculinity. Home-schooled, he began a lifelong naturalist avocation before attending Harvard College. His first of many books, The Naval War of 1812 (1882), established his reputation as both a learned historian and as a popular writer. Upon entering politics, he became the leader of the reform faction of Republicans in New York's state legislature. Following the deaths of his wife and mother, he took time to grieve by escaping to the wilderness of the American West and operating a cattle ranch in the Dakotas for a time, before returning East to run unsuccessfully for Mayor of New York City in 1886. He served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under William McKinley, resigning after one year to serve with the Rough Riders, where he gained national fame for courage during the Spanish–American War. Returning a war hero, he was elected governor of New York in 1898. The state party leadership distrusted him, so they took the lead in moving him to the prestigious but powerless role of vice president as McKinley's running mate in the election of 1900. Roosevelt campaigned vigorously across the country, helping McKinley's re-election in a landslide victory based on a platform of peace, prosperity, and conservatism.

CITE
At the Plymouth settlement in present-day Massachusetts, the leaders of the Plymouth colonists, acting on behalf of King James I, make a defensive alliance with Massasoit, chief of the Wampanoags. The agreement, in which both parties promised to not “doe hurt” to one another, was the first treaty between a Native American tribe and a group of American colonists. According to the treaty, if a Wampanoag broke the peace, he would be sent to Plymouth for punishment; if a colonist broke the law, he would likewise be sent to the Wampanoags.
In November 1620, the Mayflower arrived in the New World, carrying 101 English settlers, commonly known as the pilgrims. The majority of the pilgrims were Puritan Separatists, who traveled to America to escape the jurisdiction of the Church of England, which they believed violated the biblical precepts of true Christians. After coming to anchor in what is today Provincetown harbor in the Cape Cod region of Massachusetts, a party of armed men under the command of Captain Myles Standish was sent to explore the immediate area and find a location suitable for settlement. In December, the explorers went ashore in Plymouth, where they found cleared fields and plentiful running water; a few days later the Mayflower came to anchor in Plymouth harbor, and settlement began.
The first direct contact with a Native American was made in March 1621, and soon after, Chief Massasoit paid a visit to the settlement. After an exchange of greetings and gifts, the two peoples signed a peace treaty that lasted for more than 50 years

James Garfield (1831-81) was sworn in as the 20th U.S. president in March 1881 and died in September of that same year from an assassin’s bullet, making his tenure in office the second-shortest in U.S. presidential history, after William Henry Harrison (1773-1841). Born in an Ohio log cabin, Garfield was a self-made man who became a school president in his mid-20s. During the U.S. Civil War (1861-65), he fought for the Union and rose to the rank of major general. Garfield, a Republican, went on to represent his home state in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he served from 1863 to 1881. In 1880, a divided Republican Party chose Garfield as its dark horse presidential nominee. After winning the general election, his brief time in office was marked by political wrangling. In July 1881, Garfield was shot by a disgruntled constituent and died less than three months later.

Owner Comments
The origin of the Chickasaw is uncertain. Twentieth-century scholars, such as the archaeologist Patricia Galloway, theorize that the Chickasaw and Choctaw split into as distinct peoples in the 17th century from the remains of Plaquemine culture and other groups whose ancestors had lived in the Lower Mississippi Valley for thousands of years.[7] When Europeans first encountered them, the Chickasaw were living in villages in what is now Northeastern Mississippi.
The Chickasaw migrated into Mississippi.[8] Their oral history says they migrated along with the Choctaw from west of the Mississippi River into present-day Mississippi in prehistoric times. The Mississippian Ideological Interaction Sphere spanned the Eastern Woodlands. The Mississippian cultures emerged from previous moundbuilding societies by 880 CE. They built complex, dense villages supporting a stratified society, with centers throughout the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys and their tributaries.
In the 15th century, proto-Chickasaw people left the Tombigbee Valley after the collapse of the Moundville chiefdom and settled into the upper Yazoo and Pearl River valleys in Mississippi. Historians Arrell Gibson and anthropology John R. Swanton believed the Chickasaw Old Fields were in Madison County, Alabama.[9]
These people (the Choctaw) are the only nation from whom I could learn any idea of a traditional account of a first origin; and that is their coming out of a hole in the ground, which they shew between their nation and the Chickasaws; they tell us also that their neighbours were surprised at seeing a people rise at once out of the earth.

The 2009 Lincoln Cent Professional Life coin was ceremoniously released by the United States Mint at the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois on August 13, 2009. The cent is the third in the four coin series for the year designed to showcase the important aspects of Abraham Lincoln's life. This series was authorized as part of the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-145) as a way to celebrate the bicentennial of his birth in 1809.
The obverse of this coin is the same as it has been on the Lincoln cent for 100 years. It displays a right facing portrait of Lincoln designed by Victor D. Brenner that appeared on the first Lincoln Cent in 1909, and has been on the cent since.
The reverse showcases a design by Joel Iskowitz that was sculpted by Don Everhart. Lincoln is standing in front of the capitol building in Springfield, Illinois. As the third coin in this series, this one is meant to highlight the importance of his professional life. It is here he taught himself to become a lawyer, and where he first participated in politics.
The first coin in the series, the Lincoln Cent Birthplace included a log cabin where Lincoln was born. The Lincoln Cent Formative Years coin came next, and showed him reading a book after doing some rail splitting.
Abraham Lincoln became the 16th President of the United States in 1861, and would serve his country during the Civil War. The joy he felt at the end of the war was short-lived however as he was assassinated within a week of its end.
Previous releases in this series saw intense interest, for more information see Lincoln Coins Sold Out on CoinNews.net. Part of the bicentennial celebration, the Lincoln Silver Dollar Proof or Lincoln Silver Dollar Uncirculated coins may also be worth investigating.
Information on the coin design chosen to follow the four 2009 Lincoln Cents may be found on the 2010 Lincoln Cent page.
Obverse Design
As it has been for the last 100 years, the obverse shows a portrait of Abraham Lincoln facing right. Designed by Victor D. Brenner, it includes the words "IN GOD WE TRUST", "LIBERTY", "2009", and the mintmark "D", if minted in Denver.
Reverse Design
Featured on the reverse is Abraham Lincoln standing in front of the capitol building in Springfield, Illinois. It was here Lincoln first tested the political waters, and where he became a self-taught lawyer. Also on the reverse are "UNITED STATES OF AMEICA", "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "ONE CENT". It was designed by Joel Iskowitz and sculpted by Don Everhart.

Proof Jefferson Nickels
Proof Jefferson Nickels were struck for collectors for the first year of the series in 1938. The number of proof nickels struck vastly outnumbered the other denominations due to the increased interest generated by the new design. During this era, the Philadelphia Mint issued proof coins to collectors either individually or as part of a complete set.
The mintages for proof nickels would more closely track the other denominations during the following three years. Then, the 1942 Proof Jefferson Nickel would be struck both in standard composition and silver, prompting another year of heightened interest from collectors. Proof coins would be not be produced again until the release of the 1950 Proof Set. From this time onward, proof coins were issued as part of a set containing all denominations struck for the year.
