More from Teddy Roosevelt
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood.
I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, in virtue of the authority conferred upon me by the said Joint Resolution, do hereby set apart the twelfth day of February, nineteen hundred and nine, as a special legal holiday.
The public good will be promoted by including in the Apache National Forest certain lands within the Territory of Arizona.
