President Roosevelt gives the crowd gathered at the Chattanooga Court House a few remarks despite being behind schedule. He reminds them that Tennesseans have collectively served sixteen years as president (referring to Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Andrew Johnson). Though “there were differences as to Andrew Jackson’s policies,” Roosevelt especially praises “Old Hickory” as a man of character, “rugged honesty,” and “absolute fearlessness.”
