TESTIMONIALS

From Cole: My field trip experience was very exciting! There was so much to see and do. I really liked the Teddy Roosevelt activity because the guy that was dressed like him looked exactly like him. I also really enjoyed the Archery because it showed you how to shoot an animal with a bow and where to shoot it. The Big game activity was very interesting because you got to hold horns and got to see all the sculls of all the deer and there was a very big elk scull too.When we went to the survive in the wilderness we learned how to build a teepee and a fire and how to get clean water with filtering it. The Science one was very cool because the Detritivores and Decomposers break down gross things. We got to make our own creatures and it was so fun to make them! Thank you for sharing your time and experience with us on our Field Trip.

From Sophyra:

My favorite part of the field trip is Everything. The one thing is President Ground squirrel’s story and i sat in his chair and acted like Mrs. Roosevelt.  Thank you for  letting us come and letting us go to the Fort Kearney Expo. It was awesome. Thank you once again. We all loved it. President ground squirrel’s story is so sad. It was about his lifetime before he was president..

Brenlee:

This is your honor field trip. My favorite part of it was President “ground squirrel “or archery. My favorite thing about President ground squirrel was That he explained about his early life, and he told us that when he was younger he had asthma  and his sister had a spine problem. His dad once said that when he got another asthma attack he would have to go out of town.One time and asthma attack they went out ofhand kicked him out into the grass and he got fresh air. okay now my favorite part of archery was that I figured out that I was left handed at archery and it was really fun to shoot a bow and arrow. Thank you so much Outdoor Expo I had a very fun time.

From Caleb:

       On our field trip we went to Fort kearny. I had so much fun. First we went to learn about Teddy Roosevelt which was my favorite part of it all. The second thing we did was archery which was also so fun I shot the fake deer in the right antler which no one has done before they said. The third thing we did was see snakes which was awesome. I learned so much about snakes.  After the snakes we ate lunch which I was so hungry. Next we got to go fishing. Unfortunately I did not catch anything, but I did snap my line. Lastly we went to go play outdoor games and run around. This was all so fun I am looking forward to this next field trip.

From Ethan:

On our field trip this year, we went to Fort Kearney. We did archery, fishing, diy outdoor games, snakes, and Theodore Roosevelt. My favorite was Theodore Roosevelt because my favorite subject is social studies, and I liked how he told his life story and all the stuff he talked about.

“It was amazing to see you bring Teddy to life for our Members!  It truly was the best surprise and delight of the experience.”

Beth Ann, Annual Meeting

refreshing and informative presentation yesterday at Applewood Pointe.  Your storytelling skills, your thoroughness of presentation and your acknowledgment that another Teddy was in the room was outstanding”.

David 

“It was an honor and a privilege to meet President Theodore Roosevelt at his camp on the Cannon Valley Trail, near the Welch, Minnesota trailhead. His insightful comments pertaining to the infancy of our current National Parks System was very interesting and clearly outlined his desire that future generations would always benefit from having these special places readily available to them for solace and a renewal of spirit that comes from visiting the grand chapels of the great outdoors! Well done, Mr. President!

Visitor – TR Camp.

A statesman, a family man, a military man and a visionary; there’s something for everyone! Take a friend, take your family and take a trip back in history; you’ll be glad you did! If only we could have as free a dialog and connection with today’s leadership! If only…

 Larry – USAF- Retired

Was lucky enough to meet President Roosevelt today at the Waterville public library. He was fun, funny, engaging and informative. A great treat for kids and adults. Fascinating to talk to. I was absolutely de-lighted. Thank you very much for what you do.”

Kyle – Deelighted audience member at a library program

“Thank you for a wonderful presentation last week! Our volunteers have had nothing but complimentary things to say about you. As I mentioned, this was the first time we had a guest speaker at our banquet and you really knocked in out of the park. Thank you for your time and enthusiasm. It was a pleasure working with you and we will absolutely recommend you to our partners as a presenter and keep you in mind for future programming at Sherburne”

      Jessica – Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge

“I can not over state how enjoyable your presentation was.  Everyone had a great time.  Thank you very, very much!!!”

     Dan – Savage Masonic Center

    Chuck – Big Foot Community Fine Arts Foundation

“Adam / TR was the keynote speaker at the Association of Correctional Food Service Affiliates (ACFSA) International Conference and presented our group with the 7 Principles to Great Leadership. Adam’s knowledge of the life of TR makes him appear to be the real person. The philosophies of TR are still as applicable in 2016 as they were over 100 years ago and Adam makes you feel like you are listening to TR in person. He has a natural talent for working a crowd and keeping them engaged. He did not disappoint and we were very pleased that we hired him.”

   Tim – ACFSA Vice President

“A continuous stream of appreciation flows concerning your presentation last Friday Evening. You already have my salute, but I want you to know there is a chorus of approval for your work.”

  Rev. James, Director –  The Institute of Theological and Interdisciplinary Studie

  Ann, Principal – Roosevelt Elementary School

“I was most impressed…and very thrilled to have you here. The night was just wonderful.  You truly have a gift in being “Teddy.” You are sharing a wonderful biography of a person bigger than life…who really helped make America what it is today!  I think it would be wonderful to have you back to Luverne sometime to do a presentation during the school year.  I believe the students at school would learn a lot about determination and dedication to a life’s calling and mission.”

  Jane, Executive Director – Luverne Chamber of Commerce (Local event and 125th Anniversary Minnesota State Parks celebration)

“Thank you so much for making our Blue and Gold such a wonderful event.  I heard great feedback from both parents and scouts…a true success!   I will be sure to refer you to others.  It was a pleasure working with you.  Thank you for your professionalism and entertainment”

  Edna –  Senior Fellowship Ministries, Salem Covenant Church

“Your presentation was right on point for our customers!  We received so many wonderful comments from our guests.  What was so entertaining is how Teddy Roosevelt captures our attention and interest as he speaks about his life experiences and reminds us of the impact he had on our lives, whether through his preservation of endangered wildlife and national park lands to food and drug regulations.  Your presentation was enhanced by your awesome set design, costumes and mini museum.  Thanks again for bringing history to life for our guests. So enjoyable!”

  Carol – Think Bank customer appreciation program

“Thank you for attending the (Fort Kearny Outdoor) Expo.  You received many positive comments over the three days.  From the kids to our administration, they were very pleased with your presentation and set-up.  In fact, presenters told me the kids were reporting you as their favorite activity. We hope to have you back next year for the 10th anniversary.”

Thank you also for your willingness to be spontaneous when we had all those extra kids that we did not expect! A surprise to us both. We were thrilled to have you share Teddy with us, what a delight! “

    Suzi – Classical Conversations

“Adam Lindquist’s portrayal of Teddy Roosevelt was amazing! His appearance, demeanor and historical knowledge of this famous President was so realistic that you literally felt that you had stepped back in time. I was also in awe of his ability to answer tough questions from the audience that proved his vast knowledge of the 26th President, and he also related his presentation to include historical information about the President’s visit to our town. Adam interacted with both children and adults at our presentation and I heartily recommend him to anyone who wants to experience this incredible history.”

  Laura, Executive Director – Steele County Historical Society

“I had great things said from our residents about you and your stage presence.  Wonderful job!  I am passing your name on to my colleagues.”

   D.D. – Summit Place Senior Campus

“I want to thank you again for your appearance at Pilgrim House – I can honestly say you were a big hit.”

   Mel – Pilgrim House UUA

“If you are ever looking for a fantastic presenter, I would highly recommend Mr. Lindquist.”

   Joe Speck – Mankato Times

“Teddy Roosevelt” was one of the best presentations we have had in our quarter century of historical reenactment.  His attention to detail and ability to hold “character” throughout the day, brings to life an unforgettable performance. I recommend Adam Lindquist for your event or special occasion without reservation.

   Perry Vining, Founder/Coordinator, Big Island Rendezvous and Festival – Midwest’s Largest Early America Reenactment

“We heard you were good, and you lived up to every expectation we had.  You did such a good job that the questions were addressed to Teddy Roosevelt, not Adam!  54 people came out on a freezing night…and not a one was disappointed. Thank you!”

  Mary – Madison Lake Area Historical Society

“Thank you for helping make [our event] a success.  I was especially surprised when my oldest son told me that we should have more speakers like Teddy Roosevelt, because he was really good! This from a man not really interested in history!”

   Jane – Rapidan Chautauqua

“When I saw Adam Lindquist present his rendition of Teddy Roosevelt in Golden, CO at the 2011 Buffalo Bill Birthday Bash, I was convinced that he stepped right out of a history book! His wardrobe, dialect, and delivery was 100% Teddy Roosevelt!!!”

   Susie Knight, Cowgirl entertainer, 2013 AWA Female Poet of the year

“Patty and I enjoyed the Teddy Roosevelt reenactment. The talk about the final line in the Declaration of Independence was outstanding…Thank you”

   Gary and Patty – visitors to the TR camp in LeCenter, MN

“I wanted to thank you.  I am a retired History and Sociology teacher.      I learned more about Theodore Roosevelt in your entertaining presentation than I ever did in 40 years of teaching”

   Retired Mankato Minnesota History Teacher – at the Rapidan, MN Chautauqua

“Great seeing you again, TR. I enjoyed your presentation and learned a lot.  And, as you mentioned, so did my high school history teacher.”

   Lonesome Ron – Cowboy Singer / Entertainer

“Adam was asked to perform and entertain our customers. Most of my customers are professional re-enactors, so for him there is probably no tougher crowd. He had them in the palm of his hand from start to finish”

    Jim – River Junction Trade Company, Corporate customer

“For us, there is only one Teddy!”

   Doug – NWTF, Corporate customer

“Our school hosted Theodore Roosevelt at our school picnic this spring. Our children and staff will never forget the experience! At the end of the school year our students vote for the “Top 10” things about Forest Hills Elementary and this was at the top.”

    Sara – School Resources Director

“First, I just wanted to say thank you again for your great work with us in Utah and New Mexico.  The campaign is working!  In the President’s State of the Union address he said, he would use his authority to protect more public land.  This is the first time he has spoken about protecting public lands in this speech.  Then a few days later a Washington Post article ran saying President Obama is ‘poised’ to protect the Organ Mountains.  We are putting the correct pressure and support on this Administration and  you have been a big piece of that”

Recommended Reading

I am asked often what books I recommend to get a glimpse of Theodore Roosevelt.  I have read many and I am highlighting only a select few because of either the uniqueness of the story, or the quality of the research.  I have been told there are over 600 books on or including Roosevelt, and many more will be written in the future.  Here are a few of my favorites:

  • The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt’s Darkest Journey by Candice Millard
  • Mornings on Horseback: The Story of an Extraordinary Family, a Vanished Way of Life and the Unique Child Who Became Theodore Roosevelt by David McCullough
  • Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris
  • The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris
  • The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism by Doris Kearns Goodwin
  • The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America by Douglas Brinkley
  • Colonel Roosevelt by Edmund Morris
  • African Game Trails: An Account of the African Wanderings of an American Hunter-Naturalist by Theodore Roosevelt
  • Theodore Roosevelt: A Life by Nathan Miller

Roosevelt himself wrote over 38 books and was a best-selling author. I would recommend any of them as a great read and have listed one above I especially enjoy because of the adventure.

I appreciate recommendations and donations of Roosevelt books for my continued research and for sharing, so if you have a volume you think I would enjoy, please contact me!
