As president, Theodore Roosevelt created protections for ordinary citizens,
began regulation of big business, and made the US a major force in
international affairs. Yet one of the most important presidencies in America's
history nearly didn't happen. See the place where a brief, emotional, and
improvised ceremony in Buffalo, NY brought TR into office, and forever altered
the nation.
