On May 5, 1903, he delivered a speech in Albuquerque, New Mexico– nearly a decade before it was even granted statehood! The following is a summary of Roosevelt's address, as written by the Library of Congress (which maintains an original copy of the speech that may be accessed online): President Roosevelt addresses the citizens of Albuquerque. He is impressed by the irrigation and by the efforts of the New Mexico territory to become a state. Roosevelt speaks of the importance of educating the children into good citizens. He also defines what it truly means to be a man. This spoon was hand-engraved to commemorate the visit and features a portrait of Roosevelt himself. The bust is highly detailed and shows a stunning degree of realism. Along the edge of the spoon is the inscription "Albuquerque, N.M. // President Roosevelt. // May 5, 1903". The handle of the spoon displays images of a cowboy riding a bronco, an Indian Chief wearing a headdress, a close-up of a horse's head, and a gold miner/prospector lowering a bucket into a well.
