Two Views of Theodore Roosevelt: Riding in a Railroad Locomotive and Giving a Speech, likely 1903
01
Artifact Overview
During the late 19th century, campaigning politicians might charter tour trains to quickly get from town to town to make brief appearances or speeches. These were sometimes called "whistle-stop" tours. Theodore Roosevelt was a ferocious "whistle-stopper" -- in 1899 while running for New York governor, in 1900 as McKinley's running mate, and in 1903 and 1912 for his own Presidential campaigns.
