Anna "Bamie" Roosevelt Cowles was born on January 18, 1855. She was the oldest child of Theodore and Martha "Mittie" Bulloch Roosevelt, and sister to Theodore Roosevelt. Anna went by many names including "Bamie" (short for bambina) given to her by her mother..."and later, simply 'Bye". As a young woman, Anna dutifully helped her parents entertain and was a role model for her family, even though she was only four years older than her closest sibling Theodore. She was classified as an adult in her siblings' eyes and in his childhood diary Theodore wrote, "when I put 'big people' I mean Papa Mama and Bamie." Anna suffered from a spine condition which limited her physically, but she had a quick wit and welcoming personality. In her youth, she attended Marie Souvestre's school in France and then tutored her siblings in French. As an adult, she continued to entertain in the Roosevelt house and acted as a confidante for her siblings, especially for Theodore. Throughout her entire life, Anna provided support to her family. Beginning in 1878, when her father died, she took on many of his roles. She traveled with her mother and entertained in their house. She also wrote letters to her siblings advising them when they faced hardships. (from National Park Service).
