Roosevelt is the figure at the center of this stereograph, which records him reviewing a parade in Canton, Ohio, on McKinley Memorial Day, September 30, 1907. Canton was the hometown of William McKinley, the president Roosevelt succeeded after McKinley was assassinated in Buffalo in 1901, so the event carried personal and national weight for both men. Stereo cards like this were sold in large numbers and viewed through a stereoscope, which gave the scene a sense of depth that a flat print could not. The catalog notes that the details come from an old caption card and have not been verified, so the specifics here are best read as the card's own account.
