Theodore Roosevelt in a Parade, Santa Fe, New Mexico, circa 1910
Add to SetSummary
Theodore Roosevelt's two terms in the White House ran from 1901 to 1909 -- just when the automobile was emerging and then spreading throughout the United States. Despite his progressive outlook, Roosevelt preferred traditional horse-drawn transportation while president. Automobiles were expensive in those pre-Model T years. Being seen in one could have harmed Roosevelt's "man of the people" image.
