<P>
<P>Theodore Roosevelt became president during the very early development of motion
pictures. There is at least one good shot of him on film that is available online at the
<A HREF="http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/papr/mpixhome.html" TARGET="_top">Library of Congress Motion Picture</A> site.
At the site search on the name Roosevelt and choose the film
<CITE>President Roosevelt at the Canton station</CITE>. It was taken on September 18, 1901
soon after Roosevelt became President of the United States. The film shows him in Canton, Ohio for
the funeral of President McKinley.
<DL><DT><STRONG>Technical Notes:</STRONG>
<DD>To see this film you will need a player for the AVI format.
The Library of Congress site links to a download site for the appropriate player. You will also
need lots of time and space. The file is very large - over 18 megs. With a 28.8 modem it took me
an hour to download around 11 megabytes.</DL>
