In a chapter titled “A Most Just and Proper Revolution,” taken from the second volume of his biography of Theodore Roosevelt, Theodore Rex, Edmund Morris details the machinations in Washington, D.C. and Panama that resulted in the revolution against Colombian rule on the Isthmus and the establishment of the independent nation of Panama. Morris describes the careful actions and words of administration figures like Roosevelt and Secretary of State John Hay, and he charts the movement of ships of the United States Navy sent in support of the insurrection. Morris adds to his Panama narrative interludes about the November 1903 elections in the United States, Roosevelt’s visit to Sagamore Hill, and his compilation of a reading list.

Rear Admiral Coghlan reports to Secretary of the Navy Moody on the movements of seven Navy ships in the region. In general, the ships report that all is quiet, none of the native peoples are moving to aid Colombia, and all sailors are well. The Dixie reports that explorations overland indicate that incursions via that route are impractical for all but lightly equipped parties.
