This same photo can be seen on Google via the Library of Congress. I do not know who the lucky cowboys are though!

Janice - You're so right. That's why I put "photo courtesy of the library of congress" and the publisher's name. I'm hoping that someone will recognize their grandfather or great-grandfather and have a nice surprise.

After President William McKinley was assassinated in September of 1901, 6 months into his second term, Theodore Roosevelt succeeded him to become the 26th President of the United States. A Republican, he is usually ranked as one of the 5 best Presidents. He was awarded the Medal of Honor (he led the Rough Riders in the Spanish American War after resigning as the Asst Secretary of the Navy) and a Nobel Peace Prize in 1906 (for successfully brokering an end to the Russo-Japanese War).
A lifelong naturalist, Roosevelt made conservation a top priority for his administration, and established many new national parks, monuments and forests. He championed the Square Deal set of domestic policies which promised citizens fairness, breaking of trusts, regulation of railroads, and pure food and drugs.
A champion of progressive policies continuing into his 2nd term, he started construction on the Panama Canal and generally focused on Central America in his foreign policies.
After his two first terms, he founded the Bull Moose Party (which called for wide-ranging progressive reforms) and ran again for President in 1912. Splitting the vote, he lost and Democrat Woodrow Wilson won.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director

I am researching Tasker, Jones, Bowen, Rees of Wales; Kroetch, Chartrand of Canada; and Boggs, Ferguson, Smith, of West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky. Also Steeples of Kansas. And on my mother's New England roots - well, too numerous to name since she descends from Mayflower passengers as well as Dutch East India captains who arrived with their families before the Mayflower landed further north than was planned. :)
