The author (possibly Franklin Henry Giddings) describes President Roosevelt’s speech at Provincetown as one of the “history-making utterances of great men,” as it “revealed in combination, at one time and place, as a living whole, the elements of the Roosevelt personality” that make him an influential leader. Among others, such elements include courage, spontaneity, and unconventionality.
