Teddy Roosevelt Assassination Attempt | Historical Newspapers

United States Presidents have been criticized and attacked verbally, but in extreme cases, would-be assassins attempt to kill presidents because of policy differences or because of mental instability. Theodore Roosevelt was shot in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by a New York City saloonkeeper in 1912 as he ran as a third-party candidate against William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson. Hear the newspaper story about the event.

"Schrank is a crank." That's a good rhyme. Theodore Roosevelt is a legend. He still managed to do a speech after being shot.

Your content is enjoyable and educational. I'm surprised you don't receive more "likes."

Man, you gotta read the J.R. Montgomery Civil War letter. The amount of emotion you put into these stories rivals that guy on the Death and the Civil War show.
Which was outstanding x3 in my opinion. Consider it. Digging the channel👍👍👍

Considering What would happen just two years later you have to wonder how things would have been different if Roosevelt rather then Wilson had won.

How about a video of San Juan Hill, the original "Rough Riders" Yo! Also, of interest? The fact that some of the "generals' in this war(Spanish American) were veterans of the CW! Brooke, Merritt, F. Lee, Wheeler, Miles, Rosser, Butler, Shafter, Lawton, J. Wilson, MacArthur jr. The US still relied on CW Veterans (with combat experience on a large scale) of BOTH sides to prosecute this war to a successful conclusion! I'm ready for my Mojito now...Mr. President!

If the Ted was running for potus today i would vote for him.

If i opened a newspaper in October 1912 I would marvel that time travel is true!

Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan are the only presidents I can think of who survived being shot. Anyone else I'm missing?
