Today, in honor of Theodore Roosevelt's birthday, we are sharing that the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress has acquired its first copy of Roosevelt's famous Milwaukee, Wisconsin speech of Oct. 14, 1912, delivered immediately after he was shot by attempted assassin John Schrank. 🧵
ALT A photograph of the newly-acquired copy of the Theodore Roosevelt speech delivered immediately after he was shot by would-be assassin John Schrank. Centered in the photo is the line "I have just been shot".
ALT A screenshot of an image on the front page of The Atlanta Georgian and News from Oct. 16, 1912. The headline reads, "How Colonel Roosevelt Was Shot." Below that is a "photo-diagram" with an image of Roosevelt waving to a crowd with the shooter drawn in to the image.
