[edit]

This article fails to include the most amazing aspect of the assassination attempt. The Schrank bullet traveled through a thick manuscript and metal glasses case in Teddy Roosevelt's coat. The bullet was slowed substantially, but it still drew a significant amount of blood from Teddy. Instead of going to a hospital, Teddy insisted on giving the speech he was scheduled to give. During the speech, he opened his coat and exposed his blood-soaked shirt. No bullet was going to slow down Teddy Roosevelt.

The current version of the article doesn't say *anything* about the actual assassination attempt. Joel K. 'Jay' Furr 21:38, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added the details of the assassination attempt that I found on Teddy Roosevelt's page. $cammer 01:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph referencing Schrank's mannerisms, such as wandering the streets at night, while colorful and fun, are not supported by sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.47.198.100 (talk) 13:06, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WPMED

[edit]

I've removed the WikiProject Medicine tag from this article, because it's not really relevant.

John N. Schrank or John F. Schrank

[edit]

One of the links from this page (Notes 1, http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/life/timeline.htm, The Timeline of Theodore Roosevelt) says that his name is John Nepomuk Schrank. The article says it's John Flammand Schrank. Exec. Tassadar (comments, contribs) 13:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Length of time of speech

[edit]

In List of United States presidential assassination attempts and plots, the length of the speech is 84 minutes. In other places around the net it's 90 minutes. Here it's 50 minutes. It's 50 pages. Anyone knows the definitive time? 87.70.192.32 (talk) 20:44, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
