Theodore's Thursday Thoughts: "The distinguishing feature of our American governmental system is the freedom of the individual; it is quite as important to prevent his being oppressed by many men as it is to save him from the tyranny of one."

When Archie was sick and bed ridden at the White House recovering from the measles, he begged to be allowed to see his pony Algonquin, but was told he was too weak to visit the stables. Thus, his pony was led into the White House elevator and up to the second floor. The pony trotted into the boy's room, and soon, the boy was up and galloping around the grounds. #TheodoreRooseveltBirthplace #TheodoreRoosevelt #FindYourPark

Many people's #NewYearsResolution includes using a gym, and perhaps using weights. #TheodoreRoosevelt had a gymnasium on the back patio behind his nursery, where he used even bars to "build his body." Today in the nursery, visitors see things that look like bowling pins or mini baseball bats. What are they? They are called "indian clubs"! We wonder... will they ever make a comeback in gyms today? Come for a tour, and examine the indian clubs for yourself! www.nps.gov/thrb #2020ParkVision Hot Springs National Park Library of Congress Black and white video from 1904 showing 4th graders swinging indian clubs in unison. Indian clubs were excercise equipment of the time period.

Leaving a job often causes us to think about our accomplishments. One wonders what Theodore Roosevelt must have been thinking about on May 5, 1898 as he prepared to resign his position as Assistant Secretary of the Navy to fight as a part of the First United States Volunteer Calvary (Rough Riders) in the Spanish-American War. President McKinley was grateful for Theodore Roosevelt's efforts as Assistant Secretary of the Navy to prepare the Navy for war and would have liked to have seen Theodore Roosevelt stay on.
