EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken on October 20, 1934, over 4,500 Boy Scouts from New England, New York, and its vicinity pay their respects to the legendary 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, during their annual pilgrimage to his grave at Youngs Memorial Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, New York. At the forefront of the image, Daniel Beard, the National Commander of the Boy Scouts of America, leads the young scouts as they carry wreaths to be placed at Roosevelt's gravesite. Dressed in their uniforms, the scouts display a sense of solemn reverence and discipline as they make their way through the cemetery. Theodore Roosevelt, a renowned naturalist, explorer, and conservationist, was deeply admired by the Boy Scouts of America for his commitment to the outdoors and his belief in the importance of character development and physical fitness for young people. This annual pilgrimage was a way for the scouts to honor and remember the former president, who had passed away in 1919. The photograph captures a poignant moment in American history, as the next generation of leaders pay tribute to a man who had inspired them to explore the world around them and to strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Theodore Roosevelt and the impact he had on the lives of countless young people.
