General Notes: Child - James Dunwoody Bulloch Commander C.S.N.
Directed naval purchases in England during Civil War (Burke's Presidential Families of the United States of America (1975)).
PARENTS: Historical Collections, Joseph Habersham Chapter, DAR, v. II, 1902, pp. 663.
MARRIAGE: Ibid.
Commander, Confederate States Navy
Commander James Dunwoody Bulloch, the Confedrate agent in England was directed to procure ships for the Confederate States Navy. The ORETO had been completed and sailed to the Bahamas where John Newland Maffitt commissioned her and put to sea. Bulloch was now preparing for the launching of hull number 290, a ship being constructed under a contract between Bulloch and John Laird Sons and Company (now Cammill-Laird). The south had a number of persons in Europe for the purpose of procuring supplies and equipment, and for providing other support to the war effort. Her financial agent was the firm of Fraser, Trenholm Company, a prominent cotton broker in Liverpool.
Commander Bulloch engaged a civilian crew and captain to sail the 290 to the Azores where she was to receive armament, coal, and provisions.
Captain Raphael Semmes (born September 27, 1809, in Maryland; resided in Mobile, Alabama, before the war; died August 30, 1877, at Mobile, Alabama; buried at the Catholic Cemetery) rendezvoused with the ship in the Azores and commissioned her on the high seas. It is noteworthy that the CSS ALABAMA never touched North American soil during her 22 month life.
In Semmes words, "she was barkentine rigged, with long lower masts, which enabled her to carry large fore and aft sails, as jibs and trysails, which are of so much importance to a steamer, in so many emergencies. Her sticks were of the best yellow pine, that would bend in a gale, like a willow wand, without breaking, and her rigging was of the best of swedish iron wire. The scantling of the vessel was light, compared with vessels of her class in the federal navy, but this was scarecely a disadvantage, as the ALABAMA was purchased as a scourge of the enemy's commerce, rather than for battle. She was to defend herself, simply, if defense became necessary." She had a 300 horsepower engine and a condensor to provide fresh water for the crew. "She was a perfect steamer and a perfect sailing ship." The propellor could be detached from the shaft and hoisted out of the water so as to reduce drag when under sail alone. She could make 10 knots under sail and once, under sail and steam both, ALABAMA made thirteen and a quarter knots. Her armament consisted of six 32-pounders in broadside and two pivot guns amidships, one (a 100 pounder rifled Blakely) was on the forecastle and one (a smooth bore 8 inch gun) was abaft the mainmast. The Blakely was so light that it became overheated after a few rounds, and the charge had to be reduced because of the tremendous recoil. Thus, it was of little use in a prolonged engagement.
ALABAMA carried a crew of 120 men and 24 officers. The cost of the ship was $250,000.
Over the next 22 months the ALABAMA cruised the whaling grounds around the Azores, the shipping lanes along the eastern seaboard of the U.S., the Carribean, the Brazilian coast, along South Africa, the Indian Ocean, South China Sea, and the Bay of Bengal boarding 447 vessels, capturing 65 Union merchant vessels, and sinking the USS HATTERAS. She was at sea for 534 of the 657 days of her life. During this time she took 2,000 prisoners with no loss of life. Until the engagement with the USS KEARSARGE she lost not one man to accident or disease aboard the ship.

Annual message to legislature, dealing with taxation, the Erie Canal, commerce, labor, the National Guard, roads, civil service, state forests and the economy.
President McKinley was easily renominated at the Republican convention in Philadelphia in June 1900. The major issue at the convention was who would be the Vice Presidential candidate. Despite his reluctance to give up the governorship to New York, Theodore Roosevelt accepted the nomination. At the Democratic convention, William Jennings Bryan was nominated again. The major issue at the convention was whether to maintain Democratic support for the silver plank. Many Democrats thought that with the return of prosperity it was no longer necessary. The campaign itself was largely a replay of the race in 1896 with Bryan campaigning rigorously and McKinley not venturing from the White House. The issue of currency and silver was no longer relevant, and instead the campaign issues were whether the United States should give independence for the territories received in its war with Spain. Byran called for their immediate independence, while Roosevelt (who did most of the campaigning) claimed that the United States had a duty to civilize the lands first. The major issue was ultimately the issue of continued prosperity. The prosperity of the McKinley era ultimately decided the election and McKinley winning margin was higher than 1896. The Republican William McKinley/Theodore Roosevelt ticket received 7,219,530 votes (51.7%) to 6,358,071 (45.5%) for Democrats William Jennings Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson.

Parker of New York on the first ballot at their convention. The two contestants differed very little on the issues. Thus, the contest centered on the personalities of the two candidates. Roosevelt won the election easily with 56.4% of the popular vote.

Taft, one of the attending physicians the night of the assassination. The hair was purchased by John Hay on February 9, 1905, and was given to Roosevelt less than a month later. In his Autobiography, Roosevelt wrote, "When I was inaugurated on March 4, 1905, I wore a ring he (John Hay) sent me the night before, containing the hair of Abraham Lincoln. This ring was on my finger when the Chief Justice administered to me the oath of allegiance to the United States."

The negotiations to end the Russo-Japanese war began at Sagamore Hill when President Theodore Roosevelt invited diplomats on both sides, Russia and Japan, to his home in Oyster Bay. After meeting with all of them, he sent the diplomats out on board the presidential yacht Mayflower. He gave instructions to the captain of the yacht not to put into land until an agreement had been reached. The treaty was signed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire - the closest port available after both sides hammered out an agreement. Thus the accord is called the "Treaty of Portsmouth". Having been the principle abitrator, President Roosevelt signs the Portsmouth Treaty ending the Russo-Japanese War.
European diplomats met to settle a dispute arising from the German challenge to the impending partition of Morocco by France and Spain. Although Germany declared its support for Moroccan independence, its primary intention was to break up the Anglo-French Entente of 1904. The effect of the conference was to delay the partition of Morocco to 1912, but Britain stood by France and thus strengthened the Entente. TR was the primary mediator in this dispute.
Roosevelt, the noted conservation president, had an impact on the national park system extending well beyond his term in office. As chief executive from 1901 to 1909, he signed legislation establishing five national parks. Another Roosevelt enactment had a broader effect, however: the Antiquities Act of June 8, 1906. While not creating a single park itself, the Antiquities Act enabled Roosevelt and his successors to proclaim ôhistoric landmarks, historic or prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interestö in federal ownership as national monuments. Roosevelt did not hesitate to take advantage of this new executive authority. By the end of 1906 he had proclaimed four national monuments: Devils Tower, Wyoming, on 24 September and El Morro, New Mexico, Montezuma Castle, Arizona, and Petrified Forest, Arizona, together on 8 December. He was also prepared to interpret the authority expansively, protecting a large portion of the Grand Canyon as a national monument in 1908. By the end of his term he had reserved six predominantly cultural areas and 12 predominantly natural areas in this manner, including Muir Woods (1908) and Mount Olympus (1909). Half the total were initially administered by the Agriculture Department and were later transferred to Interior Department jurisdiction. Later presidents also used the Antiquities Act to proclaim national monuments, 105 in all. Forty-nine of them retain this designation today; others have been retitled national parks or otherwise reclassified by Congress. The Antiquities Act is the original authority for about a quarter of the 378 areas composing the national park system in 1999. Recalling this legacy of Theodore Roosevelt, it seems appropriate that he is now commemorated by five park system areas, as many as honor Abraham Lincoln and more than for any other president. Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site in New York City, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site in Oyster Bay, New York, Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site in Buffalo, Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, and Theodore Roosevelt Island in Washington, DC, trace his career and memorialize his contributions to America. The National Park Service, administrator of these parklands and the many others Roosevelt made possible, has particular cause to honor his memory.

Roosevelt was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (not Noble) for his work in the negotiations that led to the Treaty of Portsmouth ending the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. This made him the first American to win a Nobel Prize in any of the categories. The Prize consisted of a large gold medal, a diploma in a fancy case and a cash award.
He intended to give away the prize money explaining to his children that to accept it would be like taking money for saving a drowning man. On January 8, 1907, he wrote to the Nobel Prize Committee:
"The medal and diploma will be prized by me throughout my life, and by my children after my death. I have turned over the money to a committee, including the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Staes and the Secretaries of Agriculture and Commerce and Labor, in trust, to be used as a foundation for promoting the cause of industrial peace in this country. In our modern civilization it is as essential to secure a righteous peace based upon sympathy and fair dealing between the different classes of society as it is to secure such a peace among the nations of the earth; and therefore I have felt that the use I have made of the amount of the Nobel Prize was one peculiarly in accordance with the spirit of the gift."
TR did not actually pick up the prize money (or the prize itself) until 1910, when he visited Europe after his African Safari. He did not feel right accepting the prize while he was in office. TR wore an old fashioned suit with a top hat when he went to get the award. He picked up the prize in Christiania, Norway, on May 5, 1910 and part of his speech to the Nobel Prize Committee is as follows:
"I think it eminently just and proper that in most cases the recipient of the prize should keep for his own use the prize in its entirety. But in this case, while I did not act officially as President of the United States, it was nevertheless only because I was President that I was enabled to act at all; and I felt that the money must be considered as having been given me in trust for the United States. I therefore used it as a nucleus for a foundation to forward the cause of industrial peace, as being well within the general purpose of your committee; for in our complex industrial civilization of to-day the peace of righteousness and justice, the only kind of peace worth having, is at least as necessary in the industrial world as it is among nations. There is at least as much need to curb the cruel greed and arrogance of part of the world of capital, to curb the cruel greed and violence of part of the world of labor, as to check a cruel and unhealthy militarism in international relationships."
TR's idea for an industrial peace foundation never came to be. By 1918 it was clear the the foundtion would not go forward. Instead, during World War I, he donated the funds to war relief efforts.
In his book, "The Lion's Pride", Ed Renehan, Jr. writes, "He made twenty-eight different donations of various amounts. A few of the gifts included $6,900 to the Red Cross; $5,000 to Eleanor for her Y.M.C.A. project; an additional $4,000 to the Y.M.C.A. National War Work Council; and $1,000 to Edith's sister, Emily Carow, a volunteer with the Italian Red Cross at Porto Maurizo, Italy."
The actual Medal now resides in the Roosevelt Room in the White House alongside TR's Medal of Honor.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -- TR

Keel laid down by Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, CA, 20 May 1958
Launched: 03 OCT 1959; Sponsored by Mrs. Alice R. Longworth
Commissioned: 13 FEB 1961 with CDR William E. Sims [BLUE]; CDR Oliver H. Perry [GOLD]; Commanding.
Decommissioned: 28 FEB 1981
Struck from the Navy List: 24 MAR 1995
Disposed of through SRP at PSNS: 03 APR 1995
Five days after commissioning with components initially assembled for the Skipjack-class nuclear attack submarine SCAMP (SSN-588), USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT (SSBN-600) departed Mare Island, bound for the east coast. On 07 March 1961, she became the first fleet ballistic missile submarine (FBM) to transit the Panama Canal. Four days later, she arrived at Cape Canaveral, Florida. After successfully firing her first Polaris A-1 missile on 20 March and completing her shakedown training, the submarine arrived at Groton, CT, on 01 May for post-shakedown availability at the Electric Boat Co. yard. She completed those repairs on 24 June and departed Groton, bound for Charleston, SC. THEODORE ROOSEVELT stopped at Norfolk, VA, along the way and arrived at Charleston on 7 July. Between 07 and 19 July, she loaded Polaris missiles at the Naval Ammunition Depot, Charleston, and made all other preparations for her first deployment. On the 19th, she stood out of Charleston on her first deterrent patrol. She concluded that patrol on 23 September at the FBM base at Holy Loch, Scotland.
Over the next three and one-half years, the submarine made 15 more deterrent patrols, departing from and returning to the Holy Loch base in each instance. Late in the spring of 1965, she departed Holy Loch on her 17th and final patrol of the deployment. She concluded that patrol and the deployment when she arrived in Charleston on 15 June. She unloaded her 16 Polaris missiles and then departed Charleston for New London, CT, where she arrived on 26 June and entered the Electric Boat Co. yard for an extensive overhaul and refueling the following month. During this yard period her weapons system was modified to allow her to carry the Polaris A-3 missile.
Returning to Holy Loch from her 21st patrol in March 1968, THEODORE ROOSEVELT ran aground off the western coast of Scotland. After dry-docking for temporary correction of the damage, she departed Holy Loch on 5 April to return to the United States for permanent repairs. Those repairs were delayed due to labor disputes and THEODORE ROOSEVELT didn't leave the yard until mid-October. After shakedown and sea-trials she once again deployed to Holy Loch in early 1969.
In mid-June, 1974, THEODORE ROOSEVELT's homeport was reassigned to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, arriving 04 November after transiting the Panama Canal and missile load-out in Bangor, Washington. TR conducted deterrent patrols from the advance base at Guam through the late 1970s.
She was decommissioned 28 February 1981 and disposed of 3 April 1995 through the Submarine Recycling Program at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, WA.
The keel of "Hull 624D", the fourth NIMITZ-class aircraft carrier, was laid at Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company on 31 October 1981. On 3 November 1981, Secretary of the Navy John F. Lehman announced that the nation's newest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier would be named for the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. TR was christened and launched on 27 October 1984, by Mrs. Barbara Lehman, wife of Secretary Lehman. On 25 October 1986, TR was commissioned and became a part of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, home ported in Norfolk, VA. USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT is known throughout the fleet by her radio callsign "Rough Rider."
CVN 71 was the first aircraft carrier to be assembled in large sections, or modules. The process started with the ship in pieces, much like a plastic model. The pieces were pre-staged in "lay-down" areas, assembled into large modules, hoisted into place, and welded together. Many of the larger systems were installed in the modules while they were still in the lay-down areas. This reduced the need for cutting and re-welding access passages. Modular construction, made possible through the use of a huge gantry crane capable of lifting 900 tons, cut 16 months off TR's construction time. These innovative construction techniques employed in TR have been used on every aircraft carrier since.
TR becomes the only President of the United States to ever win the the Medal of Honor. He also becomes the only person to hold both the Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize. TR received the medal for his actions on 01 July 1898 at Kettle Hill and San Juan Heights during the Battle of San Juan Heights in Cuba.
"The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, March 3, 1863, has awarded in the name of The Congress the Medal of Honor to LIEUTENANT COLONEL THEODORE ROOSEVELT, UNITED STATES ARMY, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty: Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt distinguished himself by acts of bravery on 1 July, 1898, near Santiago de Cuba, Republic of Cuba, while leading a daring charge up San Juan Hill. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt, in total disregard for his personal safety, and accompanied by only four or five men, led a desperate and gallant charge up San Juan Hill, encouraging his troops to continue the assault through withering enemy fire over open countryside. Facing the enemy's heavy fire, he displayed extraordinary bravery throughout the charge, and was the frst to reach the enemy trenches, where he quickly killed one of the enemy with his pistol, allowing his men to continue the assault. His leadership and valor turned the tide in the Battle for San Juan Hill. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect greet credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army."
In an inspiring and occasionally humorous ceremony, President George W. Bush, on behalf of the American people, recieved Theodore Roosevelt's Medal of Honor from the Roosevelt family, so that it might be placed next to TR's Nobel Peace Prize in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, signifying "strength and honor" of America.
REMARKS DELIVERED IN THE ROOSEVELT ROOM, THE WHITE HOUSE
By Tweed Roosevelt, Sept. 16, 2002
"Mr. President: Theodore Roosevelt's descendents and members of the Theodore Roosevelt Association are pleased and honored to be here today in the Roosevelt Room to present his Medal of Honor to the White House. In this room in 2001, Theodore Roosevelt, posthumously of course, was awarded the Medal of Honor, for his part in the taking of San Juan Hill.
"Many people are aware of the fact that Theodore Roosevelt's son, General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. was also awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on D-Day. He was the only general officer to go ashore that day, and was in the first boat to hit Omaha Beach. General Omar Bradley was once asked to describe the bravest action involving an U. S. soldier and he told the story of Uncle Ted on the beach that day.
"What many people, even my family members, are not aware of is that another Roosevelt also was awarded the Medal of Honor. George Washington Roosevelt, a young private in the Pennsylvania Volunteers, fought in the Civil War. Twice, first at Bull Run and later at Gettysburg, he single-handed captured the Confederate Colors. For this he was awarded the medal, fortunately for him, not posthumously.
"Back to TR's medal. Several years ago, the family joined the effort to have TR awarded the Medal - not because we felt that TR needed another honor, he had received more that enough already. We got involved because we thought placing the Medal here on the mantel along side TR's Nobel Peace Prize might be of some use to future presidents. This room is often used by every President to host private meetings with various foreign dignitaries, not all of whom are cooperative. When faced with an obstinate foreign leader, perhaps it might be useful for the President to point to the mantel place and say that these medals represent the highest aspirations of the United States - peace with honor; two medals, two sides of the same concept.
"In the year that the medal has been away from this room, the family has taken it on a tour of the United States from coast to coast where it has been on public display in all kinds of locations. It has been to the D-Museum in New Orleans, to many towns in North Dakota, a state of particular importance to TR, to Sagamore Hill, TR's home, to the US Aircraft Carrier, Theodore Roosevelt, just before she sailed for the war against terrorism, and to many other locations across the country. Everywhere it was greeted most warmly. TR's legacy still lives.
"As a representative of the family, I want to publicly thank all who have been involved in making the awarding of this medal a reality. Particularly we thank Representatives Lazio and McHale who together started the ball rolling in the House, and Sen. Conrad who kept it moving in the Senate. And finally, the Theodore Roosevelt Association, and especially John Gable, for all they did.
TR was awarded this medal in this room, the Roosevelt room, which he built, and we of the family think it is a most appropriate time and place to give this medal to the White House and to the Country."
The four-story brownstone in New York City was demolished in 1916, but was completely replicated following Roosevelt's death. It represents prosperous 19th century living, with forty percent of the furnishings being original Roosevelt pieces. A National Park Service Site, it is open to the public.
President Rooselvelt fell ill in 1918 and died in his sleep at Sagamore Hill, his Oyster Bay home, of coronay embolism (arterial blood clot) at age 60.

With the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, became the youngest President in the Nation's history. He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency, as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy.
He took the view that the President as a "steward of the people" should take whatever action necessary for the public good unless expressly forbidden by law or the Constitution." I did not usurp power," he wrote, "but I did greatly broaden the use of executive power."
Roosevelt's youth differed sharply from that of the log cabin Presidents. He was born in New York City in 1858 into a wealthy family, but he too struggled--against ill health--and in his triumph became an advocate of the strenuous life.
In 1884 his first wife, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mother died on the same day. Roosevelt spent much of the next two years on his ranch in the Badlands of Dakota Territory. There he mastered his sorrow as he lived in the saddle, driving cattle, hunting big game--he even captured an outlaw. On a visit to London, he married Edith Carow in December 1886.
During the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt was lieutenant colonel of the Rough Rider Regiment, which he led on a charge at the battle of San Juan. He was one of the most conspicuous heroes of the war.
Boss Tom Platt, needing a hero to draw attention away from scandals in New York State, accepted Roosevelt as the Republican candidate for Governor in 1898. Roosevelt won and served with distinction.
As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that the Government should be the great arbiter of the conflicting economic forces in the Nation, especially between capital and labor, guaranteeing justice to each and dispensing favors to none.
Roosevelt emerged spectacularly as a "trust buster" by forcing the dissolution of a great railroad combination in the Northwest. Other antitrust suits under the Sherman Act followed.
Roosevelt steered the United States more actively into world politics. He liked to quote a favorite proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick. . . . "
Aware of the strategic need for a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific, Roosevelt ensured the construction of the Panama Canal. His corollary to the Monroe Doctrine prevented the establishment of foreign bases in the Caribbean and arrogated the sole right of intervention in Latin America to the United States.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, reached a Gentleman's Agreement on immigration with Japan, and sent the Great White Fleet on a goodwill tour of the world.
Some of Theodore Roosevelt's most effective achievements were in conservation. He added enormously to the national forests in the West, reserved lands for public use, and fostered great irrigation projects.
He crusaded endlessly on matters big and small, exciting audiences with his high-pitched voice, jutting jaw, and pounding fist. "The life of strenuous endeavor" was a must for those around him, as he romped with his five younger children and led ambassadors on hikes through Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C.
Leaving the Presidency in 1909, Roosevelt went on an African safari, then jumped back into politics. In 1912 he ran for President on a Progressive ticket. To reporters he once remarked that he felt as fit as a bull moose, the name of his new party.
While campaigning in Milwaukee, he was shot in the chest by a fanatic. Roosevelt soon recovered, but his words at that time would have been applicable at the time of his death in 1919: "No man has had a happier life than I have led; a happier life in every way."
***************************
Odds & Ends:
-- In 1884 his first wife, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mother died on the same day -- his wife of Bright's disease, his mother of typhus. Roosevelt spent much of the next two years on his ranch in the Badlands of Dakota Territory. There he mastered his sorrow as he lived in the saddle, driving cattle, hunting big game -- he even captured an outlaw.
-- This anecdote illustrates Roosevelt's attitude to public service:
"The Missouri Governor [Herbert S. Hadley] was not in rugged health at that time, and in the talk with Colonel Roosevelt he mentioned the possibility that the presidency, if he should be nominated and elected, might kill him. The Colonel replied that in his judgment it was worth the sacrifice; that the presidency of the United States was the greatest task that could be laid upon any man, and that to fulfill it worthily was paramount to every consideration of personal welfare."
-- For no particular reason, Roosevelt and a few companions rode 98 miles on horseback in one day, from the White House into northern Virginia and back, through terrible winter weather. A newspaper wrote: "The President rode horseback ninety-eight miles in one day, and was able to sit down comfortably for a late dinner. What's the use of Congress trying to spank a man like that?"
-- Roosevelt favored euthanasia. Referring to his South American trip, he said:
"I have always made it a practice on such trips to take a bottle of morphine with me. Because one never knows what is going to happen, and I did not mean to be caught by some accident where I should have to die a lingering death. I always meant that, if at any time death became inevitable, I would have it over with at once, without going though a long-drawn-out agony from which death was the only relief."
-- Roosevelt's White House physician was Dr. Presley M. Rixey. New York physician Dr. Alec Lambert was a close personal friends of Roosevelt's. Dr. William Osler consulted at the White House.
-- Smoking in the White House was forbidden by Roosevelt.
-- Roosevelt was a distant relative of President Martin Van Buren. He was a fifth cousin of Franklin Roosevelt; their common ancestor, Nicholas Roosevelt, lived in New York from about 1658 to 1742.
--TR was the first U.S. president to invite an African-American to the White House when he invited Brooker T. Washington for lunch. The visit stirred an outcry in the South. "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman, a Democratic senator from South Carolina, wsas particularly furious, claiming theat because of TR's actions it would be a long time before blacks "learn their place again."
Medical : "[Without his glasses his vision was so bad that he couldn't recognize his own sons."
A few episodes of unconsciousness as a result of playing polo.
Roosevelt ran for President in 1912, as a third-party candidate. There were suspicions
"that the strain of the campaign was proving too much for Roosevelt. His voice was bothering him seriously. Reports reached the Bull Moose headquarters that he was losing his grip, that he was repeating himself disastrously. He was forced to cancel two addresses scheduled for the Middle West because of his throat. The disability was bad enough to raise the possibility that he could speak no more."
Roosevelt did not like to speak in the open air, for it put too much of a strain on his voice.
During a stop in Milwaukee on his 1912 "Bull Moose" campaign for the presidency, Roosevelt was shot at close range by John Schrank, a psychotic New York saloonkeeper. Schrank had his .38 caliber pistol aimed at Roosevelt's head, but a bystander saw the gun and deflected Schrank's arm just as the trigger was pulled. Roosevelt did not realize he was hit until someone noticed a hole in his overcoat. When Roosevelt reached inside his coat, he found blood on his fingers. Roosevelt was extremely lucky. He had the manuscript of a long, 50-page speech in his coat pocket, folded in two, and the bullet was no doubt slowed as it passed through it. He also had a steel spectacle case in his pocket, and the bullet traversed this, too, before entering Roosevelt's chest near the right nipple. Thus, one could say that Roosevelt's long-windedness and myopia saved his life! Although the bullet traveled superiorly and medially for about 3 inches after breaking the skin, it lodged in the chest wall, without entering the pleural space. Roosevelt was examined in a Milwaukee hospital where he reluctantly allowed the surgeons to administer an injection of tetanus anti-toxin, and then was observed for 8 days in a Chicago hospital. He was discharged on 23 October 1912, only a few days before the election. The bullet had effectively stopped Roosevelt's campaign. He finished second to Woodrow Wilson , but ahead of the incumbent President, William Howard Taft . The bullet was never removed, and caused no difficulty after the wound healed.
Roosevelt reporetdly snored so loudly in a hospital that complaints were filed by almost every patient in the wing where he was recuperating. Comment: I have no hard evidence to support the reasonable supposition that this incident occurred during his recovery from the assassination attempt in 1912. Given Roosevelt's obesity in later life, snoring would not be surprising. Loud snoring raises the possibility of sleep apnea. Hypersomnolence would be an additional sign of sleep apnea. Was Roosevelt hypersomnolent? During his Presidency, at least, he was not. The White House usher observed:
"President Roosevelt slept well at night, but never in the day. He liked to read in the evening after all was quiet. The usual retiring hour was about ten-thirty, but it was always with difficulty that the President was persuaded to turn in at that time. He would promise to come along in a minute, but would immediately become absorbed in a book or magazine and it was generally after much effort and much persuasion that he would finally turn in for the night. Mrs. Roosevelt would call and call. The sound of her voice calling "The-o-dore!" is well remembered by all the older employees. She often appealed to me to go to the President and "see if you cannot persuade him to come to bed." No matter how late he sat up, he always arose at the same time in the morning and always appeared refreshed and hearty."
Nor did Roosevelt show signs of excessive daytime somnolence on the campaign trail in 1912. While stumping in Milwaukee, one of Roosevelt's intimates wrote: "We had a few minutes before dinner, and the Colonel took a little nap sitting in a rocking-chair in his room. It was the only time, in all the campaign trips I made with him, that I ever saw him sleep before bedtime."
In 1912, Roosevelt's campaign manager wrote: "We usually had our meals together in the dining-car. He was an eager and valiant trencherman, and I saw how it was that he had more than two inches of flesh and fat over his ribs for the lunatic's bullet to go through. He drank great quantities of milk, but not much of anything else. I have seen him eat a whole chicken and drink four large glasses of milk at one meal, and chicken and milk were by no means the only things served." By April 1915, ex-President Taft noticed that Roosevelt did not "have as good color as he used to have," that his face seemed "fatter and flabbier," that he looked "a bit coarser."
In 1918, as a result of a throat infection, Roosevelt developed "bilateral acute otitis media, inflammatory rheumatism, and abscess of the thigh." Both eardrums were pierced, and surgery was performed on his thigh. As a result of the otitis media, he lost his hearing in the left ear.
Even as President, Roosevelt had no trouble sleeping. But during World War I, all four of Roosevelt's sons were in the Army in Europe. TR now admitted "I wake up in the middle of the night, wondering if the boys are all right, and thinking how I could tell their mother if anything happened." The youngest son, Quentin, a pilot, was killed in action in July 1918. TR's eldest son, Theodore, was awarded the Medal of Honor in World War II for his actions on Normandy Beach on D-Day.
"His chief characteristics were vision, courage, decision, instant readiness for action, the simplest honesty and the most wholesome sanity. His mental engine ran at a higher speed than that of any other man I have ever known. His foresight was uncanny. His sympathy was so quick, his emotion so intensely human, that he penetrated the feelings of others often as if by magic."
"An infection picked up in South America still poisoned his blood. He was, in that summer of 1918, close to the end of his stormy trail."
Had Roosevelt not died at the young age of 60, it is quite likely that he would have been elected President in 1920. At the very least, "He would not need to lift a finger this time [as opposed to 1912], and the [Republican presidential] nomination would still be his." Interestingly, Harding might have been Roosevelt's Vice President. If Roosevelt had lived, say, three years longer, and Harding still had died in 1923, then the Secretary of State would have succeeded to the Presidency under the law then in effect.

***********
He was the first president to exploit the public dimensions of his office in an age of mass communications, a reform leader at home and a skilled diplomat abroad. In his lifetime Roosevelt became a personal model, particularly for the country's youth, in a way that no public figure has matched. He was one of the most popular presidents in American history. He was educated by private tutors and studied at Harvard University, graduating in 1880 as a member of Phi Beta Kappa and the most prestigious social clubs. Ill health marred his boyhood, and he suffered poor eyesight, attacks of asthma, and nervous digestion, before teenage body-building efforts transformed him into a strong, vigorous young man. After his father's sudden death in 1878, Roosevelt forsook scientific ambitions, developed political interests. Early Political Career After graduation from college, Roosevelt entered politics and abandoned the study of law when, as a Republican, he was elected to the New York State Assembly in 1881. He attracted immediate attention in the press with his upper-class background, colorful personality, and bold independence. In 1884, after serving three years in the Assembly, he left politics briefly, both from grief at the death of his wife and because he had alienated the reform wing of his party that year by supporting James G. Blaine for the presidency. Roosevelt spent the next two years ranching and hunting in the Dakota Territory, which began his identification with the Wild West. He continued to write histories, biographies, and magazine articles, producing more than a dozen books between 1880 and 1900. Back in politics in 1886, he ran unsuccessfully for mayor of New York City, campaigned for the national Republican ticket in 1888, and served as Civil Service commissioner in Washington, D.C., from 1889 to 1895. From1895 to 1897, Roosevelt renewed political ties and enhanced his fame with his energetic, reform-minded service as New York City's police commissioner. After campaigning for his party's national ticket again in1896, he became assistant secretary of the navy and worked to expand and modernize the navy and get the United States into war with Spain over Cuba. War Hero and Vice-President The Spanish-American War made Roosevelta nationally known figure. His volunteer cavalry regiment, which included both cowboys and aristocrats like himself, was dubbed the Rough Riders and received extensive press coverage. Their charge at the Battle of San Juan Hill in Cuba (July 1898) was the most celebrated exploit of the war. Roosevelt became a popular hero overnight, and his favorite nickname for the rest of his life was the Colonel. He reaped a swift political reward when his party's New York boss, Senator Thomas C. Platt (1833-1910), chose him to run for governor in the face of scandals that threatened a Republican defeat. Enormous crowds greeted the candidate wherever he appeared in the 1898 campaign, and he carried his ticket to a narrow victory. Those crowds and similar outpourings when Roosevelt traveled west to a Rough Riders' reunion in 1899 propelled him toward the Republican vice-presidential nomination as William McKinley's running mate in 1900. Also favoring his nomination was Senator Platt's desire to get him out of New York. Roosevelt was an activist, independent governor,who did not submit to the Republican organization; he responded to popular disquiet over big business and showed his own concern over conservation of natural resources. Gracefully although unwillingly submitting to the vice-presidential draft, Roosevelt demonstrated hisenergy and popularity again in the 1900 campaign, as he made whirlwind tours appealing to patriotic memories of the war. He had little to do as vice-president, but his in activity ended with McKinley's assassination in September 1901, when Roosevelt became the youngest president in U.S. history. Domestic Policy Roosevelt's entry into the White House changed politics more in mood than in substance. With his vivid personality,ceaseless activity, young family, and social glamour, he became a popular idol, a position he cultivated by careful attention to the press and aflair for the dramatic. On domestic issues he moved cautiously, probably going little further in his first term than McKinley would have done. Well-publicized prosecutions of big businesses earned him acclaim as a trust buster, and his public mediation of the anthracite coal strike in1902 showed sympathies for labor and consumers. One issue on which he did move boldly was conservation, both by publicizing it long before anyother leader and by using his presidential powers, often high-handedly, to set aside 125 million acres (about 51 million ha) of western land as national forests. Roosevelt went further after his triumphant election in1904. Having consolidated his position among Republicans, he won the nomination without opposition and ran on his record, which he called the Square Deal, to win a big victory over his colorless Democratic opponent, Alton B. Parker (1852-1926). Roosevelt's second term brought two legislative milestones: passage of the Hepburn Railway Rate Act of 1905,which strengthened the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, which established the Food and Drug Administration. He later advocated further measures to deal with big business and social problems, but conservative opponents in his own party blocked those proposals. Roosevelt wielded his political power at home for the last time in 1908 by picking his friend, Secretary of War William Howard Taft, as his successor, engineering Taft's nomination and aidinghis election to the presidency. Foreign Policy Roosevelt pursued an activist foreign policy from the beginning of his presidency, in keeping with his longtime motto "Speak softly and carry a big stick." Sometime she moved quietly and delicately behind the scenes, as when he fended off possible German intervention in Venezuela in 1902 and when he worked to preserve the European balance of power in a series of crises between 1904and 1906. At other times he acted loudly and bluntly, as when he abettedthe 1903 revolution in Panama that led to United States acquisition of territory for the Panama Canal, and when he proclaimed that the United States had "police power" over Latin America in the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine (1904). He used both public and private channels in his mediation of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905 which won him the Nobel Peace Prize, the first to go to an American and when he sent a delegation to the Algeciras Conference of 1906 to help settle a conflict between Germany and France over the control of Morocco. Throughout his presidency Roosevelt labored to strengthen and modernize the armed forces. His secretaries of war, Elihu Root and Taft, introduced the general staff system to the army and streamlined reserve methods. The navy remained a special concern with Roosevelt, and he harried Congress,with partial success, to build more battleships and cruisers. In 1907 hesent America's battle fleet on a voyage around the world, both to impress Japan during a controversy over exclusion of Oriental immigrants and to display the nation's new naval prowess. At the same time, he dispatched Taft to negotiate agreements that appeased Japanese interests in Manchuria and helped defuse the dispute over immigration. Roosevelt left a record of strong diplomacy usually tempered by sensitivity and restraint, and he made his last public appearance as president in February 1909, when he reviewed the fleet returning from its world cruise. Third Party Leader Stepping down from office at the age of 50, younger than most other presidents have been when first elected, Roosevelt went abroad for more than a year, first on a hunting and nature-study safari to Africa and then on a spectacular tour of the European capitals. On his return home in the summer of 1910 he quickly became embroiled in factional fights among Republicans and slowly but steadily became estranged from his successor. Roosevelt finally broke with Taft both because he could not abide the new president's inept handling of the split between progressive and conservative Republicans and because he resented his own loss of power. Assuming command of the progressives and advocating farther-reaching economic and social reforms, Roosevelt contested the 1912 Republican presidential nomination, winning most of the primaries but losing at the convention to the same presidential party control he had earlier used to nominate Taft. Charging that he had been cheated of the nomination, Roosevelt bolted to run as the candidate of the hastily formed Progressive party. When he was wounded in an assassination attempt in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (October 1912), he made light of it, saying, "It takes more than that to kill a bull moose." Thereafter, the Progressives were nicknamed the Bull Moose party. Roosevelt outpolled Taft "a tribute to his abiding popularity" but his hopes of winning and establishing a new major party were thwarted. The Democratic nominee, Woodrow Wilson, who also appealed to progressives, carried the election. World War I After his 1912 defeat, Roosevelt spent the last six years of his life in mounting frustration, first over Wilson's enactment of much of his reform program, then over American neutrality after the outbreak of World War I in 1914, and finally over his own failure to be allowed to raise a division to fight in France after the United States entered the war in 1917. Although he continued to advocate domestic reforms, he increasingly devoted himself to calling for a strong pro-Allied foreign policy and greater military preparedness. Roosevelt was gradually reconciled with his former party opponents, including Taft. He disbanded the Progressives in 1916 to back the Republican nominee against Wilson, and it seemed certain that he would be the party's candidate in 1920. His four sons all fought in WorldWar I, and the death of the youngest, Quentin, in combat as an aviator in August 1918, was a heavy blow. Roosevelt's health deteriorated during the final years of his life, partly as a result of tropical fevers contracted on an expedition to the Amazon region of Brazil in 1914.

President McKinley was easily renominated at the Republican convention in Philadelphia in June 1900. The major issue at the convention was who would be the Vice Presidential candidate. Despite his reluctance to give up the governorship to New York, Theodore Roosevelt accepted the nomination. At the Democratic convention, William Jennings Bryan was nominated again. The major issue at the convention was whether to maintain Democratic support for the silver plank. Many Democrats thought that with the return of prosperity it was no longer necessary. The campaign itself was largely a replay of the race in 1896 with Bryan campaigning rigorously and McKinley not venturing from the White House. The issue of currency and silver was no longer relevant, and instead the campaign issues were whether the United States should give independence for the territories received in its war with Spain. Byran called for their immediate independence, while Roosevelt (who did most of the campaigning) claimed that the United States had a duty to civilize the lands first. The major issue was ultimately the issue of continued prosperity. The prosperity of the McKinley era ultimately decided the election and McKinley winning margin was higher than 1896. The Republican William McKinley/Theodore Roosevelt ticket received 7,219,530 votes (51.7%) to 6,358,071 (45.5%) for Democrats William Jennings Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson.

President Roosevelt reelected over Democrat Alton B. Parker. Theodore Roosevelt's nomination at the Republican convention in June of 1904 was without opposition. The Democrats nominated Alton B. Parker of New York on the first ballot at their convention. The two contestants differed very little on the issues. Thus, the contest centered on the personalities of the two candidates. Roosevelt won the election easily with 56.4% of the popular vote.

President Theodore Roosevelt wore a ring containing a lock of Abraham Lincoln's hair when he was inaugurated in 1905. The hair had been cut by Dr. Charles C. Taft, one of the attending physicians the night of the assassination. The hair was purchased by John Hay on February 9, 1905, and was given to Roosevelt less than a month later. In his Autobiography, Roosevelt wrote, "When I was inaugurated on March 4, 1905, I wore a ring he (John Hay) sent me the night before, containing the hair of Abraham Lincoln. This ring was on my finger when the Chief Justice administered to me the oath of allegiance to the United States."

The negotiations to end the Russo-Japanese war began at Sagamore Hill when President Theodore Roosevelt invited diplomats on both sides, Russia and Japan, to his home in Oyster Bay. After meeting with all of them, he sent the diplomats out on board the presidential yacht Mayflower. He gave instructions to the captain of the yacht not to put into land until an agreement had been reached. The treaty was signed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire - the closest port available after both sides hammered out an agreement. Thus the accord is called the "Treaty of Portsmouth". Having been the principle abitrator, President Roosevelt signs the Portsmouth Treaty ending the Russo-Japanese War.
European diplomats met to settle a dispute arising from the German challenge to the impending partition of Morocco by France and Spain. Although Germany declared its support for Moroccan independence, its primary intention was to break up the Anglo-French Entente of 1904. The effect of the conference was to delay the partition of Morocco to 1912, but Britain stood by France and thus strengthened the Entente. TR was the primary mediator in this dispute.
Roosevelt, the noted conservation president, had an impact on the national park system extending well beyond his term in office. As chief executive from 1901 to 1909, he signed legislation establishing five national parks. Another Roosevelt enactment had a broader effect, however: the Antiquities Act of June 8, 1906. While not creating a single park itself, the Antiquities Act enabled Roosevelt and his successors to proclaim “historic landmarks, historic or prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest” in federal ownership as national monuments. Roosevelt did not hesitate to take advantage of this new executive authority. By the end of 1906 he had proclaimed four national monuments: Devils Tower, Wyoming, on 24 September and El Morro, New Mexico, Montezuma Castle, Arizona, and Petrified Forest, Arizona, together on 8 December. He was also prepared to interpret the authority expansively, protecting a large portion of the Grand Canyon as a national monument in 1908. By the end of his term he had reserved six predominantly cultural areas and 12 predominantly natural areas in this manner, including Muir Woods (1908) and Mount Olympus (1909). Half the total were initially administered by the Agriculture Department and were later transferred to Interior Department jurisdiction. Later presidents also used the Antiquities Act to proclaim national monuments, 105 in all. Forty-nine of them retain this designation today; others have been retitled national parks or otherwise reclassified by Congress. The Antiquities Act is the original authority for about a quarter of the 378 areas composing the national park system in 1999. Recalling this legacy of Theodore Roosevelt, it seems appropriate that he is now commemorated by five park system areas, as many as honor Abraham Lincoln and more than for any other president. Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site in New York City, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site in Oyster Bay, New York, Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site in Buffalo, Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, and Theodore Roosevelt Island in Washington, DC, trace his career and memorialize his contributions to America. The National Park Service, administrator of these parklands and the many others Roosevelt made possible, has particular cause to honor his memory.

Roosevelt was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (not Noble) for his work in the negotiations that led to the Treaty of Portsmouth ending the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. This made him the first American to win a Nobel Prize in any of the categories. The Prize consisted of a large gold medal, a diploma in a fancy case and a cash award.
He intended to give away the prize money explaining to his children that to accept it would be like taking money for saving a drowning man. On January 8, 1907, he wrote to the Nobel Prize Committee:
"The medal and diploma will be prized by me throughout my life, and by my children after my death. I have turned over the money to a committee, including the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Staes and the Secretaries of Agriculture and Commerce and Labor, in trust, to be used as a foundation for promoting the cause of industrial peace in this country. In our modern civilization it is as essential to secure a righteous peace based upon sympathy and fair dealing between the different classes of society as it is to secure such a peace among the nations of the earth; and therefore I have felt that the use I have made of the amount of the Nobel Prize was one peculiarly in accordance with the spirit of the gift."
TR did not actually pick up the prize money (or the prize itself) until 1910, when he visited Europe after his African Safari. He did not feel right accepting the prize while he was in office. TR wore an old fashioned suit with a top hat when he went to get the award. He picked up the prize in Christiania, Norway, on May 5, 1910 and part of his speech to the Nobel Prize Committee is as follows:
"I think it eminently just and proper that in most cases the recipient of the prize should keep for his own use the prize in its entirety. But in this case, while I did not act officially as President of the United States, it was nevertheless only because I was President that I was enabled to act at all; and I felt that the money must be considered as having been given me in trust for the United States. I therefore used it as a nucleus for a foundation to forward the cause of industrial peace, as being well within the general purpose of your committee; for in our complex industrial civilization of to-day the peace of righteousness and justice, the only kind of peace worth having, is at least as necessary in the industrial world as it is among nations. There is at least as much need to curb the cruel greed and arrogance of part of the world of capital, to curb the cruel greed and violence of part of the world of labor, as to check a cruel and unhealthy militarism in international relationships."
TR's idea for an industrial peace foundation never came to be. By 1918 it was clear the the foundtion would not go forward. Instead, during World War I, he donated the funds to war relief efforts.
In his book, "The Lion's Pride", Ed Renehan, Jr. writes, "He made twenty-eight different donations of various amounts. A few of the gifts included $6,900 to the Red Cross; $5,000 to Eleanor for her Y.M.C.A. project; an additional $4,000 to the Y.M.C.A. National War Work Council; and $1,000 to Edith's sister, Emily Carow, a volunteer with the Italian Red Cross at Porto Maurizo, Italy."
The actual Medal now resides in the Roosevelt Room in the White House alongside TR's Medal of Honor.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -- TR

The bullet would never be removed.

Keel laid down by Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, CA, 20 May 1958
Launched: 03 OCT 1959; Sponsored by Mrs. Alice R. Longworth
Commissioned: 13 FEB 1961 with CDR William E. Sims [BLUE]; CDR Oliver H. Perry [GOLD]; Commanding.
Decommissioned: 28 FEB 1981
Struck from the Navy List: 24 MAR 1995
Disposed of through SRP at PSNS: 03 APR 1995
Five days after commissioning with components initially assembled for the Skipjack-class nuclear attack submarine SCAMP (SSN-588), USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT (SSBN-600) departed Mare Island, bound for the east coast. On 07 March 1961, she became the first fleet ballistic missile submarine (FBM) to transit the Panama Canal. Four days later, she arrived at Cape Canaveral, Florida. After successfully firing her first Polaris A-1 missile on 20 March and completing her shakedown training, the submarine arrived at Groton, CT, on 01 May for post-shakedown availability at the Electric Boat Co. yard. She completed those repairs on 24 June and departed Groton, bound for Charleston, SC. THEODORE ROOSEVELT stopped at Norfolk, VA, along the way and arrived at Charleston on 7 July. Between 07 and 19 July, she loaded Polaris missiles at the Naval Ammunition Depot, Charleston, and made all other preparations for her first deployment. On the 19th, she stood out of Charleston on her first deterrent patrol. She concluded that patrol on 23 September at the FBM base at Holy Loch, Scotland.
Over the next three and one-half years, the submarine made 15 more deterrent patrols, departing from and returning to the Holy Loch base in each instance. Late in the spring of 1965, she departed Holy Loch on her 17th and final patrol of the deployment. She concluded that patrol and the deployment when she arrived in Charleston on 15 June. She unloaded her 16 Polaris missiles and then departed Charleston for New London, CT, where she arrived on 26 June and entered the Electric Boat Co. yard for an extensive overhaul and refueling the following month. During this yard period her weapons system was modified to allow her to carry the Polaris A-3 missile.
Returning to Holy Loch from her 21st patrol in March 1968, THEODORE ROOSEVELT ran aground off the western coast of Scotland. After dry-docking for temporary correction of the damage, she departed Holy Loch on 5 April to return to the United States for permanent repairs. Those repairs were delayed due to labor disputes and THEODORE ROOSEVELT didn't leave the yard until mid-October. After shakedown and sea-trials she once again deployed to Holy Loch in early 1969.
In mid-June, 1974, THEODORE ROOSEVELT's homeport was reassigned to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, arriving 04 November after transiting the Panama Canal and missile load-out in Bangor, Washington. TR conducted deterrent patrols from the advance base at Guam through the late 1970s.
She was decommissioned 28 February 1981 and disposed of 3 April 1995 through the Submarine Recycling Program at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, WA.
The keel of "Hull 624D", the fourth NIMITZ-class aircraft carrier, was laid at Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company on 31 October 1981. On 3 November 1981, Secretary of the Navy John F. Lehman announced that the nation's newest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier would be named for the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. TR was christened and launched on 27 October 1984, by Mrs. Barbara Lehman, wife of Secretary Lehman. On 25 October 1986, TR was commissioned and became a part of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, home ported in Norfolk, VA. USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT is known throughout the fleet by her radio callsign "Rough Rider."
CVN 71 was the first aircraft carrier to be assembled in large sections, or modules. The process started with the ship in pieces, much like a plastic model. The pieces were pre-staged in "lay-down" areas, assembled into large modules, hoisted into place, and welded together. Many of the larger systems were installed in the modules while they were still in the lay-down areas. This reduced the need for cutting and re-welding access passages. Modular construction, made possible through the use of a huge gantry crane capable of lifting 900 tons, cut 16 months off TR's construction time. These innovative construction techniques employed in TR have been used on every aircraft carrier since.
TR becomes the only President of the United States to ever win the the Medal of Honor. He also becomes the only person to hold both the Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize. TR received the medal for his actions on 01 July 1898 at Kettle Hill and San Juan Heights during the Battle of San Juan Heights in Cuba.
"The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, March 3, 1863, has awarded in the name of The Congress the Medal of Honor to LIEUTENANT COLONEL THEODORE ROOSEVELT, UNITED STATES ARMY, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty: Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt distinguished himself by acts of bravery on 1 July, 1898, near Santiago de Cuba, Republic of Cuba, while leading a daring charge up San Juan Hill. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt, in total disregard for his personal safety, and accompanied by only four or five men, led a desperate and gallant charge up San Juan Hill, encouraging his troops to continue the assault through withering enemy fire over open countryside. Facing the enemy's heavy fire, he displayed extraordinary bravery throughout the charge, and was the frst to reach the enemy trenches, where he quickly killed one of the enemy with his pistol, allowing his men to continue the assault. His leadership and valor turned the tide in the Battle for San Juan Hill. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect greet credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army."
In an inspiring and occasionally humorous ceremony, President George W. Bush, on behalf of the American people, recieved Theodore Roosevelt's Medal of Honor from the Roosevelt family, so that it might be placed next to TR's Nobel Peace Prize in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, signifying "strength and honor" of America.
REMARKS DELIVERED IN THE ROOSEVELT ROOM, THE WHITE HOUSE
By Tweed Roosevelt, Sept. 16, 2002
"Mr. President: Theodore Roosevelt's descendents and members of the Theodore Roosevelt Association are pleased and honored to be here today in the Roosevelt Room to present his Medal of Honor to the White House. In this room in 2001, Theodore Roosevelt, posthumously of course, was awarded the Medal of Honor, for his part in the taking of San Juan Hill.
"Many people are aware of the fact that Theodore Roosevelt's son, General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. was also awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on D-Day. He was the only general officer to go ashore that day, and was in the first boat to hit Omaha Beach. General Omar Bradley was once asked to describe the bravest action involving an U. S. soldier and he told the story of Uncle Ted on the beach that day.
"What many people, even my family members, are not aware of is that another Roosevelt also was awarded the Medal of Honor. George Washington Roosevelt, a young private in the Pennsylvania Volunteers, fought in the Civil War. Twice, first at Bull Run and later at Gettysburg, he single-handed captured the Confederate Colors. For this he was awarded the medal, fortunately for him, not posthumously.
"Back to TR's medal. Several years ago, the family joined the effort to have TR awarded the Medal - not because we felt that TR needed another honor, he had received more that enough already. We got involved because we thought placing the Medal here on the mantel along side TR's Nobel Peace Prize might be of some use to future presidents. This room is often used by every President to host private meetings with various foreign dignitaries, not all of whom are cooperative. When faced with an obstinate foreign leader, perhaps it might be useful for the President to point to the mantel place and say that these medals represent the highest aspirations of the United States - peace with honor; two medals, two sides of the same concept.
"In the year that the medal has been away from this room, the family has taken it on a tour of the United States from coast to coast where it has been on public display in all kinds of locations. It has been to the D-Museum in New Orleans, to many towns in North Dakota, a state of particular importance to TR, to Sagamore Hill, TR's home, to the US Aircraft Carrier, Theodore Roosevelt, just before she sailed for the war against terrorism, and to many other locations across the country. Everywhere it was greeted most warmly. TR's legacy still lives.
"As a representative of the family, I want to publicly thank all who have been involved in making the awarding of this medal a reality. Particularly we thank Representatives Lazio and McHale who together started the ball rolling in the House, and Sen. Conrad who kept it moving in the Senate. And finally, the Theodore Roosevelt Association, and especially John Gable, for all they did.
TR was awarded this medal in this room, the Roosevelt room, which he built, and we of the family think it is a most appropriate time and place to give this medal to the White House and to the Country."
The four-story brownstone in New York City was demolished in 1916, but was completely replicated following Roosevelt's death. It represents prosperous 19th century living, with forty percent of the furnishings being original Roosevelt pieces. A National Park Service Site, it is open to the public.
President Rooselvelt fell ill in 1918 and died in his sleep at Sagamore Hill, his Oyster Bay home, of coronay embolism (arterial blood clot) at age 60.

************************************************************
With the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, became the youngest President in the Nation's history. He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency, as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy.
He took the view that the President as a "steward of the people" should take whatever action necessary for the public good unless expressly forbidden by law or the Constitution." I did not usurp power," he wrote, "but I did greatly broaden the use of executive power."
Roosevelt's youth differed sharply from that of the log cabin Presidents. He was born in New York City in 1858 into a wealthy family, but he too struggled--against ill health--and in his triumph became an advocate of the strenuous life.
In 1884 his first wife, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mother died on the same day. Roosevelt spent much of the next two years on his ranch in the Badlands of Dakota Territory. There he mastered his sorrow as he lived in the saddle, driving cattle, hunting big game--he even captured an outlaw. On a visit to London, he married Edith Carow in December 1886.
During the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt was lieutenant colonel of the Rough Rider Regiment, which he led on a charge at the battle of San Juan. He was one of the most conspicuous heroes of the war.
Boss Tom Platt, needing a hero to draw attention away from scandals in New York State, accepted Roosevelt as the Republican candidate for Governor in 1898. Roosevelt won and served with distinction.
As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that the Government should be the great arbiter of the conflicting economic forces in the Nation, especially between capital and labor, guaranteeing justice to each and dispensing favors to none.
Roosevelt emerged spectacularly as a "trust buster" by forcing the dissolution of a great railroad combination in the Northwest. Other antitrust suits under the Sherman Act followed.
Roosevelt steered the United States more actively into world politics. He liked to quote a favorite proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick. . . . "
Aware of the strategic need for a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific, Roosevelt ensured the construction of the Panama Canal. His corollary to the Monroe Doctrine prevented the establishment of foreign bases in the Caribbean and arrogated the sole right of intervention in Latin America to the United States.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, reached a Gentleman's Agreement on immigration with Japan, and sent the Great White Fleet on a goodwill tour of the world.
Some of Theodore Roosevelt's most effective achievements were in conservation. He added enormously to the national forests in the West, reserved lands for public use, and fostered great irrigation projects.
He crusaded endlessly on matters big and small, exciting audiences with his high-pitched voice, jutting jaw, and pounding fist. "The life of strenuous endeavor" was a must for those around him, as he romped with his five younger children and led ambassadors on hikes through Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C.
Leaving the Presidency in 1909, Roosevelt went on an African safari, then jumped back into politics. In 1912 he ran for President on a Progressive ticket. To reporters he once remarked that he felt as fit as a bull moose, the name of his new party.
While campaigning in Milwaukee, he was shot in the chest by a fanatic. Roosevelt soon recovered, but his words at that time would have been applicable at the time of his death in 1919: "No man has had a happier life than I have led; a happier life in every way."
***************************
Odds & Ends:
-- In 1884 his first wife, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mother died on the same day -- his wife of Bright's disease, his mother of typhus. Roosevelt spent much of the next two years on his ranch in the Badlands of Dakota Territory. There he mastered his sorrow as he lived in the saddle, driving cattle, hunting big game -- he even captured an outlaw.
-- This anecdote illustrates Roosevelt's attitude to public service:
"The Missouri Governor [Herbert S. Hadley] was not in rugged health at that time, and in the talk with Colonel Roosevelt he mentioned the possibility that the presidency, if he should be nominated and elected, might kill him. The Colonel replied that in his judgment it was worth the sacrifice; that the presidency of the United States was the greatest task that could be laid upon any man, and that to fulfill it worthily was paramount to every consideration of personal welfare."
-- For no particular reason, Roosevelt and a few companions rode 98 miles on horseback in one day, from the White House into northern Virginia and back, through terrible winter weather. A newspaper wrote: "The President rode horseback ninety-eight miles in one day, and was able to sit down comfortably for a late dinner. What's the use of Congress trying to spank a man like that?"
-- Roosevelt favored euthanasia. Referring to his South American trip, he said:
"I have always made it a practice on such trips to take a bottle of morphine with me. Because one never knows what is going to happen, and I did not mean to be caught by some accident where I should have to die a lingering death. I always meant that, if at any time death became inevitable, I would have it over with at once, without going though a long-drawn-out agony from which death was the only relief."
-- Roosevelt's White House physician was Dr. Presley M. Rixey. New York physician Dr. Alec Lambert was a close personal friends of Roosevelt's. Dr. William Osler consulted at the White House.
-- Smoking in the White House was forbidden by Roosevelt.
-- Roosevelt was a distant relative of President Martin Van Buren. He was a fifth cousin of Franklin Roosevelt; their common ancestor, Nicholas Roosevelt, lived in New York from about 1658 to 1742.
--TR was the first U.S. president to invite an African-American to the White House when he invited Brooker T. Washington for lunch. The visit stirred an outcry in the South. "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman, a Democratic senator from South Carolina, wsas particularly furious, claiming theat because of TR's actions it would be a long time before blacks "learn their place again."
Medical:"Without his glasses his vision was so bad that he couldn't recognize his own sons."
A few episodes of unconsciousness as a result of playing polo.
Roosevelt ran for President in 1912, as a third-party candidate. There were suspicions "that the strain of the campaign was proving too much for Roosevelt. His voice was bothering him seriously. Reports reached the Bull Moose headquarters that he was losing his grip, that he was repeating himself disastrously. He was forced to cancel two addresses scheduled for the Middle West because of his throat. The disability was bad enough to raise the possibility that he could speak no more."
Roosevelt did not like to speak in the open air, for it put too much of a strain on his voice.
During a stop in Milwaukee on his 1912 "Bull Moose" campaign for the presidency, Roosevelt was shot at close range by John Schrank, a psychotic New York saloonkeeper. Schrank had his .38 caliber pistol aimed at Roosevelt's head, but a bystander saw the gun and deflected Schrank's arm just as the trigger was pulled. Roosevelt did not realize he was hit until someone noticed a hole in his overcoat. When Roosevelt reached inside his coat, he found blood on his fingers. Roosevelt was extremely lucky. He had the manuscript of a long, 50-page speech in his coat pocket, folded in two, and the bullet was no doubt slowed as it passed through it. He also had a steel spectacle case in his pocket, and the bullet traversed this, too, before entering Roosevelt's chest near the right nipple. Thus, one could say that Roosevelt's long-windedness and myopia saved his life! Although the bullet traveled superiorly and medially for about 3 inches after breaking the skin, it lodged in the chest wall, without entering the pleural space. Roosevelt was examined in a Milwaukee hospital where he reluctantly allowed the surgeons to administer an injection of tetanus anti-toxin, and then was observed for 8 days in a Chicago hospital. He was discharged on 23 October 1912, only a few days before the election. The bullet had effectively stopped Roosevelt's campaign. He finished second to Woodrow Wilson , but ahead of the incumbent President, William Howard Taft . The bullet was never removed, and caused no difficulty after the wound healed.
Roosevelt reporetdly snored so loudly in a hospital that complaints were filed by almost every patient in the wing where he was recuperating. Comment: I have no hard evidence to support the reasonable supposition that this incident occurred during his recovery from the assassination attempt in 1912. Given Roosevelt's obesity in later life, snoring would not be surprising. Loud snoring raises the possibility of sleep apnea. Hypersomnolence would be an additional sign of sleep apnea. Was Roosevelt hypersomnolent? During his Presidency, at least, he was not. The White House usher observed:
"President Roosevelt slept well at night, but never in the day. He liked to read in the evening after all was quiet. The usual retiring hour was about ten-thirty, but it was always with difficulty that the President was persuaded to turn in at that time. He would promise to come along in a minute, but would immediately become absorbed in a book or magazine and it was generally after much effort and much persuasion that he would finally turn in for the night. Mrs. Roosevelt would call and call. The sound of her voice calling "The-o-dore!" is well remembered by all the older employees. She often appealed to me to go to the President and "see if you cannot persuade him to come to bed." No matter how late he sat up, he always arose at the same time in the morning and always appeared refreshed and hearty."
Nor did Roosevelt show signs of excessive daytime somnolence on the campaign trail in 1912. While stumping in Milwaukee, one of Roosevelt's intimates wrote: "We had a few minutes before dinner, and the Colonel took a little nap sitting in a rocking-chair in his room. It was the only time, in all the campaign trips I made with him, that I ever saw him sleep before bedtime."
In 1912, Roosevelt's campaign manager wrote: "We usually had our meals together in the dining-car. He was an eager and valiant trencherman, and I saw how it was that he had more than two inches of flesh and fat over his ribs for the lunatic's bullet to go through. He drank great quantities of milk, but not much of anything else. I have seen him eat a whole chicken and drink four large glasses of milk at one meal, and chicken and milk were by no means the only things served." By April 1915, ex-President Taft noticed that Roosevelt did not "have as good color as he used to have," that his face seemed "fatter and flabbier," that he looked "a bit coarser."
In 1918, as a result of a throat infection, Roosevelt developed "bilateral acute otitis media, inflammatory rheumatism, and abscess of the thigh." Both eardrums were pierced, and surgery was performed on his thigh. As a result of the otitis media, he lost his hearing in the left ear.
Even as President, Roosevelt had no trouble sleeping. But during World War I, all four of Roosevelt's sons were in the Army in Europe. TR now admitted "I wake up in the middle of the night, wondering if the boys are all right, and thinking how I could tell their mother if anything happened." The youngest son, Quentin, a pilot, was killed in action in July 1918. TR's eldest son, Theodore, was awarded the Medal of Honor in World War II for his actions on Normandy Beach on D-Day.
"His chief characteristics were vision, courage, decision, instant readiness for action, the simplest honesty and the most wholesome sanity. His mental engine ran at a higher speed than that of any other man I have ever known. His foresight was uncanny. His sympathy was so quick, his emotion so intensely human, that he penetrated the feelings of others often as if by magic."
"An infection picked up in South America still poisoned his blood. He was, in that summer of 1918, close to the end of his stormy trail."
Had Roosevelt not died at the young age of 60, it is quite likely that he would have been elected President in 1920. At the very least, "He would not need to lift a finger this time [as opposed to 1912], and the [Republican presidential] nomination would still be his." Interestingly, Harding might have been Roosevelt's Vice President. If Roosevelt had lived, say, three years longer, and Harding still had died in 1923, then the Secretary of State would have succeeded to the Presidency under the law then in effect.

TR took the oath of office as Governor of New York before Secretary of State John Palmer. On 2 January 1899, he was officially inaugurated in the New York State Assembly Chamber. The day was so cold that the brass instruments of the band escorting him to the State Capitol building froze into silence. Annual message to legislature, dealing with taxation, the Erie Canal, commerce, labor, the National Guard, roads, civil service, state forests and the economy.
President McKinley was easily renominated at the Republican convention in Philadelphia in June 1900. The major issue at the convention was who would be the Vice Presidential candidate. Despite his reluctance to give up the governorship to New York, Theodore Roosevelt accepted the nomination. At the Democratic convention, William Jennings Bryan was nominated again. The major issue at the convention was whether to maintain Democratic support for the silver plank. Many Democrats thought that with the return of prosperity it was no longer necessary. The campaign itself was largely a replay of the race in 1896 with Bryan campaigning rigorously and McKinley not venturing from the White House. The issue of currency and silver was no longer relevant, and instead the campaign issues were whether the United States should give independence for the territories received in its war with Spain. Byran called for their immediate independence, while Roosevelt (who did most of the campaigning) claimed that the United States had a duty to civilize the lands first. The major issue was ultimately the issue of continued prosperity. The prosperity of the McKinley era ultimately decided the election and McKinley winning margin was higher than 1896. The Republican William McKinley/Theodore Roosevelt ticket received 7,219,530 votes (51.7%) to 6,358,071 (45.5%) for Democrats William Jennings Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson.
President William McKinley is shot while attending the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, NY. Vice President Roosevelt, on a hiking trip with his family, is summoned from Mount Tahawus in the Adirondacks to Buffalo. President McKinley would die of his wounds eight days later.

Parker of New York on the first ballot at their convention. The two contestants differed very little on the issues. Thus, the contest centered on the personalities of the two candidates. Roosevelt won the election easily with 56.4% of the popular vote.

President Theodore Roosevelt wore a ring containing a lock of Abraham Lincoln's hair when he was inaugurated in 1905. The hair had been cut by Dr. Charles C. Taft, one of the attending physicians the night of the assassination. The hair was purchased by John Hay on February 9, 1905, and was given to Roosevelt less than a month later. In his Autobiography, Roosevelt wrote, "When I was inaugurated on March 4, 1905, I wore a ring he (John Hay) sent me the night before, containing the hair of Abraham Lincoln. This ring was on my finger when the Chief Justice administered to me the oath of allegiance to the United States."

The negotiations to end the Russo-Japanese war began at Sagamore Hill when President Theodore Roosevelt invited diplomats on both sides, Russia and Japan, to his home in Oyster Bay. After meeting with all of them, he sent the diplomats out on board the presidential yacht Mayflower. He gave instructions to the captain of the yacht not to put into land until an agreement had been reached. The treaty was signed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire - the closest port available after both sides hammered out an agreement. Thus the accord is called the "Treaty of Portsmouth". Having been the principle abitrator, President Roosevelt signs the Portsmouth Treaty ending the Russo-Japanese War.
European diplomats met to settle a dispute arising from the German challenge to the impending partition of Morocco by France and Spain. Although Germany declared its support for Moroccan independence, its primary intention was to break up the Anglo-French Entente of 1904. The effect of the conference was to delay the partition of Morocco to 1912, but Britain stood by France and thus strengthened the Entente. TR was the primary mediator in this dispute.
Roosevelt, the noted conservation president, had an impact on the national park system extending well beyond his term in office. As chief executive from 1901 to 1909, he signed legislation establishing five national parks. Another Roosevelt enactment had a broader effect, however: the Antiquities Act of June 8, 1906. While not creating a single park itself, the Antiquities Act enabled Roosevelt and his successors to proclaim “historic landmarks, historic or prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest” in federal ownership as national monuments. Roosevelt did not hesitate to take advantage of this new executive authority. By the end of 1906 he had proclaimed four national monuments: Devils Tower, Wyoming, on 24 September and El Morro, New Mexico, Montezuma Castle, Arizona, and Petrified Forest, Arizona, together on 8 December. He was also prepared to interpret the authority expansively, protecting a large portion of the Grand Canyon as a national monument in 1908. By the end of his term he had reserved six predominantly cultural areas and 12 predominantly natural areas in this manner, including Muir Woods (1908) and Mount Olympus (1909). Half the total were initially administered by the Agriculture Department and were later transferred to Interior Department jurisdiction. Later presidents also used the Antiquities Act to proclaim national monuments, 105 in all. Forty-nine of them retain this designation today; others have been retitled national parks or otherwise reclassified by Congress. The Antiquities Act is the original authority for about a quarter of the 378 areas composing the national park system in 1999. Recalling this legacy of Theodore Roosevelt, it seems appropriate that he is now commemorated by five park system areas, as many as honor Abraham Lincoln and more than for any other president. Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site in New York City, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site in Oyster Bay, New York, Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site in Buffalo, Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, and Theodore Roosevelt Island in Washington, DC, trace his career and memorialize his contributions to America. The National Park Service, administrator of these parklands and the many others Roosevelt made possible, has particular cause to honor his memory.

Roosevelt was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (not Noble) for his work in the negotiations that led to the Treaty of Portsmouth ending the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. This made him the first American to win a Nobel Prize in any of the categories. The Prize consisted of a large gold medal, a diploma in a fancy case and a cash award.
He intended to give away the prize money explaining to his children that to accept it would be like taking money for saving a drowning man. On January 8, 1907, he wrote to the Nobel Prize Committee:
"The medal and diploma will be prized by me throughout my life, and by my children after my death. I have turned over the money to a committee, including the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Staes and the Secretaries of Agriculture and Commerce and Labor, in trust, to be used as a foundation for promoting the cause of industrial peace in this country. In our modern civilization it is as essential to secure a righteous peace based upon sympathy and fair dealing between the different classes of society as it is to secure such a peace among the nations of the earth; and therefore I have felt that the use I have made of the amount of the Nobel Prize was one peculiarly in accordance with the spirit of the gift."
TR did not actually pick up the prize money (or the prize itself) until 1910, when he visited Europe after his African Safari. He did not feel right accepting the prize while he was in office. TR wore an old fashioned suit with a top hat when he went to get the award. He picked up the prize in Christiania, Norway, on May 5, 1910 and part of his speech to the Nobel Prize Committee is as follows:
"I think it eminently just and proper that in most cases the recipient of the prize should keep for his own use the prize in its entirety. But in this case, while I did not act officially as President of the United States, it was nevertheless only because I was President that I was enabled to act at all; and I felt that the money must be considered as having been given me in trust for the United States. I therefore used it as a nucleus for a foundation to forward the cause of industrial peace, as being well within the general purpose of your committee; for in our complex industrial civilization of to-day the peace of righteousness and justice, the only kind of peace worth having, is at least as necessary in the industrial world as it is among nations. There is at least as much need to curb the cruel greed and arrogance of part of the world of capital, to curb the cruel greed and violence of part of the world of labor, as to check a cruel and unhealthy militarism in international relationships."
TR's idea for an industrial peace foundation never came to be. By 1918 it was clear the the foundtion would not go forward. Instead, during World War I, he donated the funds to war relief efforts.
In his book, "The Lion's Pride", Ed Renehan, Jr. writes, "He made twenty-eight different donations of various amounts. A few of the gifts included $6,900 to the Red Cross; $5,000 to Eleanor for her Y.M.C.A. project; an additional $4,000 to the Y.M.C.A. National War Work Council; and $1,000 to Edith's sister, Emily Carow, a volunteer with the Italian Red Cross at Porto Maurizo, Italy."
The actual Medal now resides in the Roosevelt Room in the White House alongside TR's Medal of Honor.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -- TR

Keel laid down by Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, CA, 20 May 1958
Launched: 03 OCT 1959; Sponsored by Mrs. Alice R. Longworth
Commissioned: 13 FEB 1961 with CDR William E. Sims [BLUE]; CDR Oliver H. Perry [GOLD]; Commanding.
Decommissioned: 28 FEB 1981
Struck from the Navy List: 24 MAR 1995
Disposed of through SRP at PSNS: 03 APR 1995
Five days after commissioning with components initially assembled for the Skipjack-class nuclear attack submarine SCAMP (SSN-588), USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT (SSBN-600) departed Mare Island, bound for the east coast. On 07 March 1961, she became the first fleet ballistic missile submarine (FBM) to transit the Panama Canal. Four days later, she arrived at Cape Canaveral, Florida. After successfully firing her first Polaris A-1 missile on 20 March and completing her shakedown training, the submarine arrived at Groton, CT, on 01 May for post-shakedown availability at the Electric Boat Co. yard. She completed those repairs on 24 June and departed Groton, bound for Charleston, SC. THEODORE ROOSEVELT stopped at Norfolk, VA, along the way and arrived at Charleston on 7 July. Between 07 and 19 July, she loaded Polaris missiles at the Naval Ammunition Depot, Charleston, and made all other preparations for her first deployment. On the 19th, she stood out of Charleston on her first deterrent patrol. She concluded that patrol on 23 September at the FBM base at Holy Loch, Scotland.
Over the next three and one-half years, the submarine made 15 more deterrent patrols, departing from and returning to the Holy Loch base in each instance. Late in the spring of 1965, she departed Holy Loch on her 17th and final patrol of the deployment. She concluded that patrol and the deployment when she arrived in Charleston on 15 June. She unloaded her 16 Polaris missiles and then departed Charleston for New London, CT, where she arrived on 26 June and entered the Electric Boat Co. yard for an extensive overhaul and refueling the following month. During this yard period her weapons system was modified to allow her to carry the Polaris A-3 missile.
Returning to Holy Loch from her 21st patrol in March 1968, THEODORE ROOSEVELT ran aground off the western coast of Scotland. After dry-docking for temporary correction of the damage, she departed Holy Loch on 5 April to return to the United States for permanent repairs. Those repairs were delayed due to labor disputes and THEODORE ROOSEVELT didn't leave the yard until mid-October. After shakedown and sea-trials she once again deployed to Holy Loch in early 1969.
In mid-June, 1974, THEODORE ROOSEVELT's homeport was reassigned to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, arriving 04 November after transiting the Panama Canal and missile load-out in Bangor, Washington. TR conducted deterrent patrols from the advance base at Guam through the late 1970s.
She was decommissioned 28 February 1981 and disposed of 3 April 1995 through the Submarine Recycling Program at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, WA.
The keel of "Hull 624D", the fourth NIMITZ-class aircraft carrier, was laid at Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company on 31 October 1981. On 3 November 1981, Secretary of the Navy John F. Lehman announced that the nation's newest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier would be named for the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. TR was christened and launched on 27 October 1984, by Mrs. Barbara Lehman, wife of Secretary Lehman. On 25 October 1986, TR was commissioned and became a part of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, home ported in Norfolk, VA. USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT is known throughout the fleet by her radio callsign "Rough Rider."
CVN 71 was the first aircraft carrier to be assembled in large sections, or modules. The process started with the ship in pieces, much like a plastic model. The pieces were pre-staged in "lay-down" areas, assembled into large modules, hoisted into place, and welded together. Many of the larger systems were installed in the modules while they were still in the lay-down areas. This reduced the need for cutting and re-welding access passages. Modular construction, made possible through the use of a huge gantry crane capable of lifting 900 tons, cut 16 months off TR's construction time. These innovative construction techniques employed in TR have been used on every aircraft carrier since.
TR becomes the only President of the United States to ever win the the Medal of Honor. He also becomes the only person to hold both the Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize. TR received the medal for his actions on 01 July 1898 at Kettle Hill and San Juan Heights during the Battle of San Juan Heights in Cuba.
"The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, March 3, 1863, has awarded in the name of The Congress the Medal of Honor to LIEUTENANT COLONEL THEODORE ROOSEVELT, UNITED STATES ARMY, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty: Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt distinguished himself by acts of bravery on 1 July, 1898, near Santiago de Cuba, Republic of Cuba, while leading a daring charge up San Juan Hill. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt, in total disregard for his personal safety, and accompanied by only four or five men, led a desperate and gallant charge up San Juan Hill, encouraging his troops to continue the assault through withering enemy fire over open countryside. Facing the enemy's heavy fire, he displayed extraordinary bravery throughout the charge, and was the frst to reach the enemy trenches, where he quickly killed one of the enemy with his pistol, allowing his men to continue the assault. His leadership and valor turned the tide in the Battle for San Juan Hill. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect greet credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army."
In an inspiring and occasionally humorous ceremony, President George W. Bush, on behalf of the American people, recieved Theodore Roosevelt's Medal of Honor from the Roosevelt family, so that it might be placed next to TR's Nobel Peace Prize in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, signifying "strength and honor" of America.
REMARKS DELIVERED IN THE ROOSEVELT ROOM, THE WHITE HOUSE
By Tweed Roosevelt, Sept. 16, 2002
"Mr. President: Theodore Roosevelt's descendents and members of the Theodore Roosevelt Association are pleased and honored to be here today in the Roosevelt Room to present his Medal of Honor to the White House. In this room in 2001, Theodore Roosevelt, posthumously of course, was awarded the Medal of Honor, for his part in the taking of San Juan Hill.
"Many people are aware of the fact that Theodore Roosevelt's son, General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. was also awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on D-Day. He was the only general officer to go ashore that day, and was in the first boat to hit Omaha Beach. General Omar Bradley was once asked to describe the bravest action involving an U. S. soldier and he told the story of Uncle Ted on the beach that day.
"What many people, even my family members, are not aware of is that another Roosevelt also was awarded the Medal of Honor. George Washington Roosevelt, a young private in the Pennsylvania Volunteers, fought in the Civil War. Twice, first at Bull Run and later at Gettysburg, he single-handed captured the Confederate Colors. For this he was awarded the medal, fortunately for him, not posthumously.
"Back to TR's medal. Several years ago, the family joined the effort to have TR awarded the Medal - not because we felt that TR needed another honor, he had received more that enough already. We got involved because we thought placing the Medal here on the mantel along side TR's Nobel Peace Prize might be of some use to future presidents. This room is often used by every President to host private meetings with various foreign dignitaries, not all of whom are cooperative. When faced with an obstinate foreign leader, perhaps it might be useful for the President to point to the mantel place and say that these medals represent the highest aspirations of the United States - peace with honor; two medals, two sides of the same concept.
"In the year that the medal has been away from this room, the family has taken it on a tour of the United States from coast to coast where it has been on public display in all kinds of locations. It has been to the D-Museum in New Orleans, to many towns in North Dakota, a state of particular importance to TR, to Sagamore Hill, TR's home, to the US Aircraft Carrier, Theodore Roosevelt, just before she sailed for the war against terrorism, and to many other locations across the country. Everywhere it was greeted most warmly. TR's legacy still lives.
"As a representative of the family, I want to publicly thank all who have been involved in making the awarding of this medal a reality. Particularly we thank Representatives Lazio and McHale who together started the ball rolling in the House, and Sen. Conrad who kept it moving in the Senate. And finally, the Theodore Roosevelt Association, and especially John Gable, for all they did.
TR was awarded this medal in this room, the Roosevelt room, which he built, and we of the family think it is a most appropriate time and place to give this medal to the White House and to the Country."
The four-story brownstone in New York City was demolished in 1916, but was completely replicated following Roosevelt's death. It represents prosperous 19th century living, with forty percent of the furnishings being original Roosevelt pieces. A National Park Service Site, it is open to the public.
President Rooselvelt fell ill in 1918 and died in his sleep at Sagamore Hill, his Oyster Bay home, of coronay embolism (arterial blood clot) at age 60.

ROOSEVELT, Theodore, aka "Teedie," (great-great-grandson of Archibald Bulloch, nephew of Robert Barnwell Roosevelt, father-in-law of Nicholas Longworth), a Vice President and 26th President of the United States; born in New York City, October 27, 1858; privately tutored; graduated from Harvard University in 1880; studied law; traveled abroad; member, New York State Assembly 1882-1884; lost both his mother and first wife within 18 hours on 14 February 1884; moved to North Dakota and lived on his ranch; returned to New York City in 1886; appointed by President Benjamin Harrison a Commissioner of the United States Civil Service Commission (1889-1895), when he resigned to become president of the New York Board of Police Commissioners; resigned this position upon his appointment by President William McKinley as Assistant Secretary of the Navy 1897-1898, when he resigned to enter the war with Spain; organized the First Regiment, United States Volunteer Cavalry, popularly known as Roosevelt's Rough Riders; Governor of New York 1899-1900; elected Vice President of the United States on the Republican ticket headed by William McKinley in 1900 and was inaugurated March 4, 1901; upon the death of President McKinley on September 14, 1901, became President of the United States; elected President of the United States in 1904, was inaugurated March 4, 1905, and served until March 3, 1909; unsuccessful candidate of the Progressive Party for President of the United States in 1912 and 1916; engaged in literary pursuits; died at Oyster Bay, Nassau County, N.Y., January 6, 1919; interment in Young's Memorial Cemetery.
************************************************************
With the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, became the youngest President in the Nation's history. He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency, as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy.
He took the view that the President as a "steward of the people" should take whatever action necessary for the public good unless expressly forbidden by law or the Constitution." I did not usurp power," he wrote, "but I did greatly broaden the use of executive power."
Roosevelt's youth differed sharply from that of the log cabin Presidents. He was born in New York City in 1858 into a wealthy family, but he too struggled--against ill health--and in his triumph became an advocate of the strenuous life.
In 1884 his first wife, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mother died on the same day. Roosevelt spent much of the next two years on his ranch in the Badlands of Dakota Territory. There he mastered his sorrow as he lived in the saddle, driving cattle, hunting big game--he even captured an outlaw. On a visit to London, he married Edith Carow in December 1886.
During the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt was lieutenant colonel of the Rough Rider Regiment, which he led on a charge at the battle of San Juan. He was one of the most conspicuous heroes of the war.
Boss Tom Platt, needing a hero to draw attention away from scandals in New York State, accepted Roosevelt as the Republican candidate for Governor in 1898. Roosevelt won and served with distinction.
As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that the Government should be the great arbiter of the conflicting economic forces in the Nation, especially between capital and labor, guaranteeing justice to each and dispensing favors to none.
Roosevelt emerged spectacularly as a "trust buster" by forcing the dissolution of a great railroad combination in the Northwest. Other antitrust suits under the Sherman Act followed.
Roosevelt steered the United States more actively into world politics. He liked to quote a favorite proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick. . . . "
Aware of the strategic need for a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific, Roosevelt ensured the construction of the Panama Canal. His corollary to the Monroe Doctrine prevented the establishment of foreign bases in the Caribbean and arrogated the sole right of intervention in Latin America to the United States.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, reached a Gentleman's Agreement on immigration with Japan, and sent the Great White Fleet on a goodwill tour of the world.
Some of Theodore Roosevelt's most effective achievements were in conservation. He added enormously to the national forests in the West, reserved lands for public use, and fostered great irrigation projects.
He crusaded endlessly on matters big and small, exciting audiences with his high-pitched voice, jutting jaw, and pounding fist. "The life of strenuous endeavor" was a must for those around him, as he romped with his five younger children and led ambassadors on hikes through Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C.
Leaving the Presidency in 1909, Roosevelt went on an African safari, then jumped back into politics. In 1912 he ran for President on a Progressive ticket. To reporters he once remarked that he felt as fit as a bull moose, the name of his new party.
While campaigning in Milwaukee, he was shot in the chest by a fanatic. Roosevelt soon recovered, but his words at that time would have been applicable at the time of his death in 1919: "No man has had a happier life than I have led; a happier life in every way."

Elliott Roosevelt was handsome and charming; not at all like bis br other Teddy, wbo had a queer voice, enormous teeth, and wore thick glasses.
There was an impulsive, appealing quality about Elliott. As a child of seven he gave his new overcoat to a raggelurchin who looked cold. "He never could learn to control his heart by his head," said his daughter Eleanor, the future First Lady. "With him the heart always dominated.
When Franklin Delano Roo sevelt was born his parents asked Elliott to be a godparent. He replied that while unworthy of the distinction, "My dear little mother has persuadel me th at I should accept the high honor you
offer me." Elliott was amusing.
Not long after returning frorn his world safari he married Anna Hall, granddaughter of a Livingston and great-great-granddaughter of the powerful Chancellor. With her blue eyes and sunny hair, all agreed that Anna was a singularly beautiful and gracious woman, a queen of the world in which she moved. The young couple, wrote their daughter, joined the ,,fun loving younger set an Long Island in summer, with hunting and polo and gay evening parties. Elliott also took up serious drinking.

from HISTORY OF CHARLES DIXON, One of the Early English Settlers of Sackville, N(ew) B(runswick) (1891), Compiled by James D. Dixon -- A Grandson, p. 91:
"Mr. (George) Bulmer....came when a lad of 12 years of age from England in the same ship with Mr. Dixon and his family, and a few years subsequently, his mother and several of her sons came out and settled near Amherst, where some of their descendants still remain. The Bulmer family is said to be of Norman descent. Mr. George Bulmer purchased a large lot of land adjoining the farm of his father-in-law, which he industriously improved and cultivated for many years, until he became somewhat deranged and this affliction having assumed a somewhat alarming aspect it was deemed necessary in the interests of his family to invoke the action of the Court of Chancery; and a decree was obtained by which the property was placed in the hands of Commissioners, who should control the same for the maintenance of Mr. and Mrs. Bulmer and in the interest of the family. Mr. and Mrs. Bulmer both survived for many years after the above action was taken. Mrs. Bulmer died in 1835 aged 67 years, and Mr. Bulmer in 1841, aged 82 years."

"SUSANNAH DIXON, the second daughter of Charles and Susannah Coates Dixon, married George Bulmer, in the year 1784. Mr. Bulmer, as previously stated, came when a lad of 12 years of age from England in the same ship with Mr. Dixon and his family, and a few years subsequently, his mother and several of her sons came out and settled near Amherst, where some of their descendants still remain. The Bulmer family is said to be of Norman descent.

Note:
[Notes from http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/HUNGERFORD.htm#Edward%20HUNGERFORD%20Sir1]
Inherited Farleigh castle in 1516. Married 3 times. Sir Edward left his estate to his widow, Agnes, but she was arrested and hanged at Tyburn in 1523 on a charge of arranging the murder of her previous husband, John Cotell. John Cotell was strangled by two men from Heytesbury and his remains burnt in the kitchen furnace. It's difficult to tell at this distance whether Agnes was guilty or innocent - but her accusers waited five years - until she no longer had the protection of her second husband - before bringing any charge. It smells like a vendetta.

The Richardson Memorial by John Adams Vinton, 1876, Brown & Thurston Co.,
Portland, ME, pg 163:
EDWARD WILSON RICHARDSON, oldest son of John and Eunice (Goding)
Richardson, of Jay, Maine; born there, July 16, 1811; m., Betsey S.
Bumpus, Feb. 23, 1846. She is, without doubt, a descendant of Edward
Bompass(originally bon pas, a fortunate step, or bonne passe, a good
condition), a French Huguenot, who arrived at Plymouth in the ship
Fortune, Nov. 10, 1621, and joined the colony there. This ship brought
over Robert Cushman and thirty-five others, with supplies, to the great
joy of the suffering pilgrims, whoarrived a year previous, and were now
in great want. Bompass easily slid into Bumpus. Edward W. Richardson
resides in his native town, Jay, Me.
