In 1903, Theodore Roosevelt embarked on a grand tour of the mid-West and Western states, being careful not to call it a campaign tour, although he intended to seek re-election the following year.

From the Roosevelt Arch in Yellowstone to the cliffs of Yosemite, his grand tour of the west at the turn of the century influenced his second term and the shaping of the American west--and is now the stuff of legend.
