Teddy Roosevelt, who was president from 1901-1909, was shot by John Schrank while campaigned as the candidate of the new Progressive party on Oct. 14, 1912. His 50-page speech and glasses case slowed the bullet enough so that it entered his body, but did not penetrate the heart. Rather than go to the hospital, Roosevelt went on with the show.
"I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose," Roosevelt said. "The bullet is in me now, so that I cannot make a very long speech, but I will try my best."
He spoke for 90 minutes.
