Roosevelt Refuses Drink and Delivers on Frontier
The excerpt recounts Theodore Roosevelt facing a taunting “tenderfoot” at a border town hotel in the 1880s, refusing to drink, then subduing the aggressor with a swift blow and calmly taking control. It continues with Roosevelt’s enforcement efforts as Police Commissioner in New York, his tactful leadership during violent parades, and a humorous anecdote from his conference days. It also covers his African hunting trick with a cowhide decoy and culminates with his ascent to the presidency after McKinley’s death and his oath of office in Buffalo.
