206 Teddy Theodore Roosevelt

The Teddy Roosevelt Room

Room 206

Born in New York City in 1858 into a wealthy family, Theodore Roosevelt struggled against ill health, and in his triumph became an advocate of the strenuous life. In 1884, his first wife, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mother died on the same day. Roosevelt spent much of the next two years on his ranch in the Badlands of Dakota Territory. There he mastered his sorrow as he lived in the saddle, driving cattle, hunting big game – he even captured an outlaw. On a visit to London, he married Edith Carow in December 1886.

Theodore-Roosevelt-picDuring the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt was lieutenant colonel of the Rough Rider Regiment, which he led on a charge at the battle of San Juan. He was one of the most conspicuous heroes of the war. Replacing “Custer’s Last Stand” as the grand historic spectacle of the 1899 and 1900 seasons of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show, was the “Battle of San Juan Hill.” Scripted by Nate Salsbury, the battle usually came as the shows finale. Breathless press releases described the final heroic moments as “Roosevelt of the Rough Riders, on horseback, presses to the foot of the death-swept hill and calling upon the men to follow him, rides straight up and at the fortressed foe. There is a frantic yell of admiration and approval as the soldiers – white, red and black – spring from their cowering positions of utter helplessness and follow him and the flag.” It is difficult to calculate the value that this spectacle had on the political fortunes of Theodore Roosevelt – but it must have been considerable. It boosted Roosevelt’s hero status, keeping his military exploits vividly before the public as he served as governor of New York and then ran for the vice-presidency in 1900. Cody weighed in with a succinct and helpful estimation of his friend: “They don’t make any better men than Teddy Roosevelt.”

With the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, became the youngest President in the Nation’s history. He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency, as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy.

    Sheridan Inn Hotel Reviews

    • 5 star review  Awesome place to stay if you enjoy a more historical atmosphere. Staff was great. Accommodations were top notch. Definitely will return.

    • 5 star review  Me and my father stayed here while on a business trip. Not only were they competitively priced, the inn itself is amazing. There's a charm unlike any other hotel I've been in. We were told they just renovated the rooms and it was certainly worth it. The rooms are beautiful and clean, and surprisingly quiet. I couldn't hear any traffic from outside. There was a connection available for a TV but no TV attached, which didn't bother me or my father, but it's something to be noted. The front desk attendant was friendly, and the continental breakfast was nice. We were told there was a falling out between the restaurant/bar (owner?) and the inn owner, so the restaurant was closed the night we were there, but it didn't bother us. We weren't planning on eating there anyways. The pictures around the hotel are fun to look at and show various stages of the inn's history, along with each room coming with information about Wyoming icons who have history with the inn. I highly recommend taking a bath in their claw-foot bathtubs. I had one when I was growing up and forgot just how nice they are. The only thing I think could make this nicer is glass water glasses, but that's only if they wanted to get REALLY fancy. I wouldn't recommend young children (under the age of 6). It's not that the hotel is bad for children, but rather the atmosphere and overall feel of the inn is probably boring (for them), unless the child is highly interested in history. We had a great stay and we highly recommend this place. I plan on coming back here when I go vacationing in Northern Wyoming.
