It Takes more than One Bullet to Kill a Bull Moose

Teddy Roosevelt always had a certain panache and he never had more than on this date in 1912 when he was shot.

Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose. But fortunately I had my manuscript, so you see I was going to make a long speech, and there is a bullet - there is where the bullet went through - and it probably saved me from it going into my heart. The bullet is in me now, so that I cannot make a very long speech, but I will try my best.

Read his whole speech from that night here.
