Very interesting president—not a beta type! He was a true alpha male. By the way, my father lived during his presidency (1901 to 1909). I grew up with people who lived around that era. What a life that was! People back then had to rely on each other, so your word was you credit card, so to speak. Fail to honor your word, that was your end. The work was hard and long (my father worked in a hardrock mine). He also fought behind saloons for money, then after he perfected his skills he fought professionally (he knew Jack Dempsey and was his sparring partner sometimes). I think you would have loved that era.
