Theodore Roosevelt Campaign Bandanna, 1912
01
Artifact Overview
Theodore Roosevelt's disenchantment with President Taft, his hand-picked successor in 1908, encouraged him to run against the Republican leader in 1912. Unable to secure the Republican Party nomination, Roosevelt (referred to as TR) and his supporters formed the Progressive Party. The popular ex-president garnered 27 percent of the vote (more than Taft), but both lost to the Democrat Woodrow Wilson.

Torch Lake, built by Mason Machine Works in 1873, hauled ore for the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company on Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. The engine is an articulated design. The driving wheels pivot under the boiler, allowing the locomotive to handle sharp curves. Torch Lake joined The Henry Ford's collection in 1969.
