Summary
- First film footage taken of Theodore Roosevelt at his home at Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay, Long Island, summer of 1912. Views of the house and surrounding grounds. Roosevelt reviews his mail, assisted by his son Archie. William P. Helm, Associated Press correspondent for New York City and Washington from 1910 to 1918, who was detailed to Woodrow Wilson and Roosevelt during the 1912 campaign, speaks informally with Roosevelt under trees. Roosevelt rides his horse Sidar away from Sagamore and stops to feed horse from his hand; Roosevelt and his dogs set out across field with Sagamore visible in background. Roosevelt, in white shirt and vest, chops down a tree. Band and crowd of men on Sagamore grounds. Roosevelt addressing large group of men from Sagamore porch. American flag flying.
