The bullet didn’t completely stop in the folded speech. It actually punctured his chest tissue but didn’t get through the ribs. After giving the LONG speech, Roosevelt said something like “it takes more than that to stop a bull moose!”
AMERICA'S GREATEST PRESIDENT; Teddy Roosevelt was giving a speech when... BANG! The bullet was stopped by the folded up speech in his pocket!
T.R. continued giving his speech!
WHAT A MAN!
