Gregory A. Wynn provides the backstory to a rare item from his Theodore Roosevelt collection. Wynn describes a handbill produced at the time of the Republican convention of 1912 in Chicago that sarcastically claimed that Roosevelt would walk on the waters of Lake Michigan. Wynn examines the biblical roots of the handbill’s message and notes that Roosevelt’s detractors would have produced and endorsed its message. Wynn highlights President Lyndon B. Johnson’s invoking the handbill at the dedication of Theodore Roosevelt Island in 1967.
A photograph of Wynn, a photograph of the Roosevelt statue on Theodore Roosevelt Island, and a full page reproduction of the handbill illustrate the essay. A text box with the mission statement of the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) appears at the end of the feature.
Alan R. Havig examines the effort of the Roosevelt Memorial Association (RMA) to secure a site on the Washington, D.C., mall to erect a memorial to Theodore Roosevelt. Havig argues that it was not the grandiose design by architect John Russell Pope that doomed the proposal, but that many in and out of Congress felt that constructing a memorial to Roosevelt in the 1920s was too soon after his death. Other critics argued that Roosevelt had not yet earned a place among the memorials to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Havig notes that Roosevelt, while denied a monument in the nation’s capital, would gain a memorial on Theodore Roosevelt Island in 1967, and he would earn a place on South Dakota’s Mount Rushmore among the figures that he was deemed unworthy of joining in the 1920s.
Four illustrations, three photographs of memorials to Roosevelt, and the logo of the Theodore Roosevelt Association populate the essay.
