About this book

"The Attempted Assassination of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt" by Oliver E. Remey et al. is a historical narrative written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the shocking event of an assassination attempt on Theodore Roosevelt during his 1912 presidential campaign, focusing on the aftermath of the shooting and the implications of the attempt on Roosevelt’s political career. It provides a detailed account of the incident from various perspectives, highlighting Roosevelt's resilience and determination in the face of danger. The opening of the narrative recounts the harrowing events of October 14, 1912, when Theodore Roosevelt was shot by John Flammang Schrank while addressing a crowd in Milwaukee. Despite the bullet wound in his chest and the clear risk to his life, Roosevelt famously insisted on delivering his campaign speech immediately afterward, declaring that it would take more than one bullet to kill him. The chaotic scene unfolds as supporters subdue the assailant, and the narrative captures Roosevelt’s charisma and steadfastness, even as he faces a serious injury. The events set the stage for a gripping exploration of the broader implications of political violence and Roosevelt's indomitable spirit.
