Teddy Roosevelt left the train in Gardiner, Montana on a spring day in 1903.
The President was enroute to Yellowstone to visit the park with his friend John Burroughs.
Later on, they took a picture of him standing in front of a tent. His right hand is stuffed into a pocket of his rumpled coat. His left hand appears to be on its way into a pants pocket.
Teddy Roosevelt is poker faced.
His expression is impassive and blank. He stares at the camera with a punctured hint of impatience. He may be signaling he would prefer to be left alone.
The President appears anxious to temporarily set aside the annoyances of Presidential obligations and immerse himself in every possible pleasure of Yellowstone.
This is the picture of Teddy Roosevelt that hangs in the dining room in the little house off Kanan Dume Road.
