Strong doesn’t begin to describe Theodore Roosevelt. The man was inhuman—just look at this:
He was shot in the chest and just casually gave an hour-long speech immediately afterwards. When the man promised a speech, he gave the flipping speech.
Three men had stolen a boat a while back, along with various other crimes including horse theft. This actually labeled them as outlaws, meaning that killing them on sight would be considered perfectly legal. Rather than doing so, however, Theodore, with the help of a small crew, brought the three in alive after nearly a week.
