  • Summary

  • On October 14, 1912, Teddy Roosevelt — then running for an unprecedented third term under the banner of the Bull Moose Party — set out to give a speech at the Milwaukee Auditorium in Wisconsin. En route, he crossed paths with a mentally ill saloon owner named John Schrank. For some reason, Schrank had become convinced that Roosevelt had assassinated President William McKinley in 1901. And so Schrank waited with the crowd, then fired at Roosevelt with a Colt revolver. https://allthatsinteresting.com/teddy-roosevelt-cheating-death credits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits History Uncovered is part of the Airwave Media network: www.airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
