Don Arp examines President Theodore Roosevelt’s visit to Lincoln, Nebraska, on April 27, 1903. Arp focuses on the many layers of protection provided for Roosevelt, in addition to his Secret Service detail, and he provides the full text of Roosevelt’s address given at the Nebraska state capitol building in which Roosevelt singled out the Civil War veterans for praise and emulation. Roosevelt stresses the need for citizens to possess the qualities of courage, common sense, and honesty. A photograph of David G. McCullough appears in the article.
