Vintage Autograph

GENUINE AUTOGRAPH OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT on cut paper SIGNED and DATED BY HIM! - Large, Bold Signature!

In the 1860s Dr. Ridgway (sometimes spelled as Ridgeway) started collecting autographs and started his autograph book, he passed the book onto his heirs including someone named Tonit or Jonita Ridgeway martin who continued to collect the book. This is an exceptional piece from that autograph book.

With the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, became the youngest President in the Nation's history. He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency, as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy.

He took the view that the President as a "steward of the people" should take whatever action necessary for the public good unless expressly forbidden by law or the Constitution." I did not usurp power," he wrote, "but I did greatly broaden the use of executive power."

Leaving the Presidency in 1909, Roosevelt went on an African safari, then jumped back into politics. In 1912 he ran for President on a Progressive ticket. To reporters he once remarked that he felt as fit as a bull moose, the name of his new party.

While campaigning in Milwaukee, he was shot in the chest by a fanatic. Roosevelt soon recovered, but his words at that time would have been applicable at the time of his death in 1919: "No man has had a happier life than I have led; a happier life in every way."
