The Attempted Assassination of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt

The narrative gives a chronological, eyewitness-driven account of the attempt on a former president's life, opening with the shooting and immediate rescue, following his public speech and medical treatment, transfer to hospitals, and recovery; it then traces the arrest, arraignment, preliminary hearings, detailed psychiatric examinations of the assailant, legal proceedings and commitment to an asylum, and concludes with reports and testimony from physicians and witnesses. The volume combines firsthand reportage, transcripts, and documentary material organized into chapters and illustrations.
