EDITORS COMMENTS
November 14, 1906: Theodore Roosevelt, the charismatic and adventurous 26th President of the United States, is depicted in this illustration leading a group of laborers in the construction of the Panama Canal. Dressed in the uniform of a Rough Rider, the regiment he famously led during the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt inspires the workers with his determination and energy. One man in the background, wearing a hat labeled "Jake," is believed to represent John F. Stevens, who took over as chief engineer for the canal construction in 1905. The illustration, published in Puck magazine, captures the rough and rugged nature of the canal building project, with the laborers armed with shovels and the rough terrain of Panama in the background. The construction of the Panama Canal, which connected the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, was a monumental engineering feat and a symbol of American ingenuity and perseverance. This image offers a unique glimpse into the history of the canal's construction and the role of President Roosevelt in its realization.
