This fascinating photo shows President Teddy Roosevelt as a regular person, going for a walk in Chevy Chase with his son (Archie or Quentin) and his wife Edith some time in 1904. Doing a little digging, it’s probably Quentin, because his outfit looks exactly the same as what he was wearing in this photo.
