In May 1886, he developed an early version of a beverage that would later become world-famous as Coca-Cola, but sold his rights to the drink shortly before his death.

watched a documentary on Teddy Roosevelt on PBS a few years ago.I didn't realize what a badass that little dude was. I recommend watching it.


History On Fire does a multiple episode podcast on him. If you liked that PBS documentary you will love that. It talks about his kids later on also.
