You're right! I had started to snooze by the time I got to the end there. Maybe it was a trait of all Roosevelts. I do like most of what I read about Teddy, but sometimes he was over the top and too cavalier. He is lucky he was successful in most of what he took on. I saw an old Sean Connery movie, "The Wind and the Lion," a few weeks ago. Brian Keith was playing Teddy. I don't think the Secret Service would allow a lot of what he did to go on today. I did think it was cool that Teddy was testing the new Henry repeating rifles and making/demanding changes to the design. Back then, campaigns were run from train cars on whistle-stop tours.

Wrong Roosevelt! ;')

This is the one responsible for the National Park System. And the Boone & Crockett Club. We had no wars during his presidency, probably everyone was scared sh****** of the guy (just kiddin').
