Taken at an aviation meet in St. Louis, Missouri in 1910, this image showcases the adventurous spirit of one of America's most beloved leaders. Theodore Roosevelt, known for his energetic personality and love for exploration, is seen seated next to pilot Archibald Hoxsey as they prepare to take flight. The early aircraft stands tall behind them, its wings spread wide with promise and innovation. This snapshot embodies the excitement and wonder that surrounded aviation during this turn-of-the-century era. Roosevelt's presence on board symbolizes his progressive mindset as he embraced new technologies and pushed boundaries.

Preserved by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection archives, this remarkable image serves as a testament to Theodore Roosevelt's indomitable spirit and willingness to embrace progress during an exciting period in history when humans were just beginning to
