Who Was Franklin Roosevelt?
He was...
A boy who loved sailing, riding horses, and football
A man left crippled by polio
The only president of the United States elected four times
Although polio left him wheelchair bound, Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office during the Great Depression and served as president during World War II. Elected four times, he spent thirteen years in the White House. How he led the country through tremendously difficult problems, much like the ones facing America today, makes for a timely and engrossing biography.
