Post Campus, Long Island University, New York, August 15-November 14, 1999. The author writes that the exhibition is a "portrait narrative of the man whose progressive ideas about social justice, representative democracy, and America's role as a world leader still largely define our national character." When Theodore Roosevelt became the 26th U. S. President after the assassination of William McKinley, he had already been a State Assemblyman, Civil Service Commissioner, Police Commissioner, Assistant Secretary of the United States Navy, Governor and war hero before becoming McKinley's Vice President. After deciding not to run for President in the 1908 election, Roosevelt planned a year-long African safari. Roosevelt wooed the Smithsonian Institution to join the expedition by offering to contribute wildlife specimens for its collections. Arrangements were made for the Roosevelt party to do the hunting and shooting, while the Smithsonian scientists and taxidermists supervised the preservation and shipping of the specimens back for research and exhibition.
