President Roosevelt addresses the crowd gathered to meet him at Manassas, Virginia. He jokes about turkeys not showing up for his hunt earlier that day, to the amusement of the crowd. Roosevelt enjoyed the walk, his first in six weeks, as he had been recovering from a leg injury during the previous month. He says he enjoyed visiting the American Civil War battlefields nearby, saying all Americans, North and South, can glory in that their soldiers did their duty.
