He is noted for his exuberant personality, range of interests and achievements, and his leadership of the Progressive Movement, as well as his "cowboy" persona and robust masculinity. Roosevelt was 42 years old when sworn in as President, making him the youngest president ever. Roosevelt was also the first of only three sitting presidents to have won the Nobel Peace Prize.
