BULL ROAR
Having thrown his hat back into the ring on the Progressive ticket in 1912, TR was making a stop in Milwaukee to give a speech when an unknown man shot him. The bullet went through Roosevelt’s eyeglasses case before hitting flesh, where it lodged in some muscle tissue. It was clearly not fatal, but a gunshot wound is a gunshot wound, and his aides were preparing to get him to the hospital. The stricken candidate, however, got up on the podium and gave his speech anyway. “I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have been shot,” he told the stunned audience, “but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.”
