They left out Teddy Roosevelt being a judo player, when he injured his eye he took up wrestling and then took up judo. The guy loved to fight apparently. Incidentally there were an incident when they were replacing bayonets on Springfield rifles with sharpened rods. Roosevelt took exception to this claiming they weren't sturdy enough to replace bayonets so he got one of his advisors in a sort of bayonet duel with him with a regular knife bayonet and the other with the rod. The rod bent proving Roosevelt's point (no pun intended.)
@@bruhmomento9093 I can't give anything precise here other than I read it in a military history magazine, I believe it was Military History Illustrated.

There are other references as well to his study of Judo. And Please has a "p" in it. Just saying... ;)

Teddy Roosevelt played a very important role in creating the us national parks and protecting millions of acres of land for wildlife. If you could do a video on teddy Roosevelt protecting wildlife that would be great and educational :)
I heard that somewhere in the presidential archives is a letter Abraham Lincoln wrote to a friend. In it, he said his favorite leisure activity was sitting on the back porch of the White House playing an autoharp and smoking hemp.
Poor Coolridge. Most people who have horses make it their life and to lose that would be devastating. I could see where he would need something to get him into that mind frame
Please make a video about Emma Goldman! Also I wonder how many mules Washington managed to breed cause mules are a mixture of a horse and a donkey, but they themselves can't reproduce.
AHA! A BIT OF INCORRECT INFO ON THIS OTHERWISE EXCELLENT CHANNEL! Nixon was, at least in his youth, an athlete (if not a very good one)-he played tackle on the Whittier College football team when he attended in the early 30s. He sucked at it-he was on the practice squad and usually only came into games if the results were obvious or the team was hit with injuries, and often was called for false starts as he couldn't contain his excitement when he did get in games. He also did track and played basketball, which he was allegedly better at but he lacked the love to pursue. He was an avid fan of college and pro football throughout his life.
Wrestling on the American frontier during Lincoln's era wasn't a strange activity at all, it was pretty widespread. People in just about all walks of life used to wrestle in their spare time, be it for honor, bragging rights, to settle a personal dispute, money, or all of the above. Crowds of onlookers within the community would be attracted and would bet on the result. Most of the leading wrestlers of the nineteenth century had ongoing day jobs because a wrestler's earnings were entirely made from side bets. The above was particularly true of residents living within farming communities, which was also where almost all of the wrestling talent of the 19th century came from. Farm folk were often from rougher and hardier stock, and therefore more likely to take up a practice such as wrestling to test one's manhood from a very young age and determine one's position in a social hierarchy. Thus, the happenstance of a wrestler in America really started as a pastime and developed gradually into a trade as the side bet game became more lucrative. Naturally, this led to professional wrestling becoming incredibly crooked, as by the late 19th century it had become commonplace for wrestlers to meet in fixed matches, with one winning, but in actuality both of the two splitting the purse (unbeknownst to the individuals betting on the match). Also worth noting: In Lincoln's day, there were no enormous sports arenas. Abe Lincoln never wrestled in front of crowds of thousands of people for the kind of match stakes wrestlers received just decades later. His actual day-to-day jobs most often took priority over his wrestling matches. As an example, as a soldier in the Blackhawk War, Lincoln once had a dispute with a man over a prime camping spot. They settled the dispute by wrestling. And of course, "the squared circle" as it is understood in modern parlance, didn't exist in professional wrestling at all until a few years after Lincoln's assassination. The ring itself was actually a boxing innovation that wouldn't become widespread in wrestling until the early-1900s. In Lincoln's time, wrestlers would pretty much just go where the action took them, which could of course get chaotic. One wonders why a ring wasn't adopted within wrestling sooner than it was, yet there were no governing bodies, and really no true wrestling industry (at least in the modern sense) in those early days, so there you go.
Because it looks childlike and people have the notion that a president should always be seen as dignified,even though I agree with you that it's harmless.
NGL Teddy Roosevelt is our coolest president. He'd be a neat guy to have a drink with. OASN, Topps came out with Obama trading cards in 2008 during the election. They are really nice cards.
Lincoln would also test-fire rifles on the front lawn of the Whitehouse. There was a funny moment where him and a guy from the Henry firearms company were testing a new Henry lever action on the front lawn and a cop came by to tell what he thought were a couple troublemakers to stop firing. Apparently the cop saw it was Lincoln himself and immediately pulled a 180 and dipped

I can't believe Ronald Reagan's obsession for jelly beans wasn't mentioned.. President Ronald Reagan first became a fan of the candies during his time as governor of California and used them to help him quit smoking. He quickly became a jelly bean fanatic, ordering monthly shipments to his office from the Goelitz Candy Company (now Jelly Belly).
Coming from a family of horse breeders, Royal Gift is an awesome name for a sire. It's unique and could denote the origin on a pedigree. Breeders would then go on to use Royal and Gift in the name of the offspring sometimes making reference to the mare's name as well. Royal Gift x Petunia Blossom for instance may be Royal Blossom, etc.
My son went to DC with his school. They did make a trip to Mount Vernon. Gotta love my son (argh), he asked the guide to see the slave quarters and pot field.
Why would Secret Service make Coolidge give up his horses? Is equivalent to modern day Presidents not being allowed to drive? And then giving him a driving simulator?
Actually it might have been a scheduling issue. Coolidge was so busy that the logistics of riding horses would have been problematic. Either he would have kept a horse at the White House, requiring the construction of a stable and riding ring on its grounds, or he would have to visit a nearby riding arena multiple times a day, which necessitated a permanent Secret Service detail hanging around a stable all day, everyday, just to indulge his habit. Btw, the the person that built and gifted the horse to Coolidge was none other than John Harvey Kellogg (the subject of the book and movie Road to Wellville).
