President Roosevelt gratefully but briefly addresses the crowd gathered at Johnson City, Tennessee. He reflects on his experiences of the past two days visiting the grounds of the Battles of Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, and Missionary Ridge—experiences which he says should make anyone a better American. He also references visiting the Knoxville home of Eliza Ann O’Brien Brownlow, widow of Governor William Brownlow of Tennessee.
