Theodore Roosevelt returns from African and European travels

Still photos depict Theodore Roosevelt’s arrival in New York Harbor, his speech at the Battery, and the parade held in his honor June 18, 1910, when he returns from his extensive African and European travels. Views of ships in the harbor include a battleship, probably the dreadnought South Carolina, the reception committee cutter Androscoggin, the liner Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, on which the Roosevelt party sailed from Europe, a smaller cutter, the Manhattan, and other vessels. William Loeb, Roosevelt’s former secretary, is among welcoming dignitaries. William Jay Gaynor, Mayor of New York City, and Roosevelt appear on the speaker’s stand at the Battery where Roosevelt expresses his joy on returning to his native country. Final views of the parade include Rough Riders and other veterans of the Spanish-American War who serve as escort for Roosevelt.
