Teddy Roosevelt in Yellowstone

Today's picture was from 1903, and it shows Teddy Roosevelt on horseback, as he gets ready to tour Yellowstone. Teddy did a great job as president setting aside some of our most beautiful landscapes as National Parks. 

Cowboy Breakfast

Today's picture was taken in 1903 during Teddy Roosevelt's trip to Colorado. It appears to me that Teddy was quite fond of cowboys, and when he traveled he appeared to seek them out. In the picture above he is enjoying a Cowboy Breakfast near Hugo, Colorado. I believe he is somewhat overdressed for the occasion. 

Roosevelt Wolf Hunt

This is a slightly different version of Yesterday's picture. In researching John Abernathy, and his amazing wolf catching abilities, I learned that famed Indian Chief Quanah Parker had also been on the wolf hunt with Roosevelt and Abernathy. I then found this picture. If you look at the right part of the picture, you see half the face of a Native American. I believe that is Quanah Parker, but would welcome your speculation. Also on the wolf hunt was legendary oil man Burke Burnett. Burnett might be the man in the dark suit and hat. 

I also found the following photograph of the same wolf hunt.

You can click on the image to get a closer look. Roosevelt is in the right of the picture. Quanah Parker might be in the dark suit and hat on the left side of the picture. Again, I welcome your speculations.

Wolf Hunt

This is a picture of Teddy Roosevelt on a Wolf Hunt in 1905 in the Indian Territory (Oklahoma). Pictured beside him is John Abernathy. Roosevelt had heard rumors that Abernathy could catch and kill a wolf with his bare hands. Roosevelt believed that to be an exaggeration, and so he scheduled a hunting trip with Abernathy. During the trip, Abernathy did catch a wolf by hand, and Roosevelt saw it.
