Hyde Park Indian Club Video
Hyde Park School 1904 4th grade, Kansas City, MO.
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

Assistant Secretary of the Navy: Theodore Roosevelt
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.
