Excerpt from Roosevelt Among the People: Being an Account of the Fourteen Thousand Mile Journey From Ocean to Ocean of Theodore Roosevelt, Twenty-Sixth President of the United States, Together With the Public Speeches Made by Him During the Journey In the fall of 1902, President Roosevelt decided to make a tour of the country, and, during the trip, to deliver a number of political speeches. He started from Washington July 3, stopping at Oyster Bay, his summer home, for a time. Resuming his journey, he met with an accident at Pittsfield, Mass., September 3, an electric car running into his carriage and throwing him to the ground. He sustained apparently simple bruises and the trip was continued, but at Indianapolis it was found that one of his legs was in such a condition, due to an injury incident to the accident, that, by the advice of the attending physician, the President returned to Washington.
