Rough Cuts: Theodore Roosevelt’s Brooklyn speech printed in The Dickinson Press

A century-old newspaper clip from The Dickinson Press is offering a fresh look at Theodore Roosevelt in his own words — part cowboy, part statesman, and fully engaged in the debates of his day. In a 1916 speech delivered in Brooklyn, Roosevelt blended stories from his North Dakota ranching years with warnings about national preparedness, the balance between peace and strength, and the primacy of human rights over property rights. The rediscovered excerpts show just how strongly his Dakota experiences shaped his worldview. Read the full story and the clips from Olivia Feddeler with Dickinson Press.
