Few cities are tied to Theodore Roosevelt's career as closely as Buffalo, New York, where he took the presidential oath on September 14, 1901, after William McKinley was shot at the Pan-American Exposition. The caption uses the honorific "Col." from his command of the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War, but the record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified notes by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that produced many such glass negatives in the early 1900s. The occasion is therefore uncertain, though the subject and period suggest the picture dates to the years when Roosevelt's public profile was rising fastest.
