Theodore Roosevelt came to the badlands of western North Dakota in 1883, to hunt buffalo and to help with his recovery from respiratory ailments. Returning to New York the following year, to celebrate the birth of a son, he arrived in time to experience possibly the worst events of his life: on February 14th, 1884, St. Valentine's Day, his mother, Mittie, died of typhoid fever, and his wife of 4 years, Alice Lee, died of Bright's disease... on the same day. Grief-sticken, he returned to the badlands. What many people don't know of is his survival of an assassination attempt. On October 14, 1912, an unemployed saloonkeeper, John Flammang Schrank, fired a bullet into Roosevelt as he arrived at the Gilpatrick Hotel in Milwaukee, WI, there to give a campaign speech. However, the speech that ran to fifty pages, folded into his waistcoat, slowed the bullet. His verbose nature may have saved his life.

I found myself looking at this for a long time, Rob. Once I got over the annoying urge of desperately wanting to trim his moustache to even it out a bit, I became entirely entranced with your colorization skill around and within Roosevelt's pince nez eyeglasses.

Your remarkable skill in colorizing, while still maintaining the subtle light reflections of the glass in the lenses, is phenomenal. Truly a testament to your extraordinary artistic talent! Bravo!!

And on a side note - Cool story, Nik! I like that. The word is mightier than the ... bullet.

Splendid work again Rob.
What a tragic day loosing his mother and his wife together.
I did know of the assassination attempt - it was a question on a TV quiz I was watching a couple of days ago

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
