The grave of Quentin Roosevelt in France, and pack mules with ammunition on the Santiago Trail, Cuba
The film opens with a brief shot of several unidentified men on a boat before moving to scenes of American and French soldiers placing a new fence around the grave of Quentin Roosevelt along with a new headstone engraved in French. After a short break, the film then shows scenes of mules, loaded with boxes of ammunition, being driven along a trail, likely near Santiago, Cuba. About 12,000 mules were taken to Cuba and used primarily for transporting immediate reserves of small-arms ammunition during the Spanish-American War. Some of the men may be civilian mule skinners hired by the Army to handle the pack mules.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Martha Bulloch Roosevelt
The trip through Switzerland has been happy, and the mountaineering has put Theodore Roosevelt in “splendid condition.” Alice Lee Roosevelt was less enthusiastic about traveling by mule. They visited Geneva and Basel. Strasbourg Cathedral has been a highlight, especially the cathedral’s astronomical clock. Traveling has been comfortable, and nothing has been lost.
