Theodore Roosevelt survived an assassination attempt during a campaign stop in Milwaukee on Oct. 14, 1912. He then delivered an 84-minute speech after he was shot in the chest.
Blood seeped from Roosevelt's body and soaked his white shirt with a large crimson stain as he spoke. "I'm fit as a bull moose," Roosevelt told reporters following the effort to kill him. "In the very unlikely event of the wound being mortal I wished to die with my boots on." — Teddy Roosevelt "The split in the GOP handed the presidency to Democrat Woodrow Wilson." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
The force of the bullet aimed at his heart by New York City saloon keeper John Schrank was deadened by a metal eyeglass case — and the voluminous 50-page speech rolled up inside Roosevelt's coat pocket.
