Thanksgiving Proclamation

Theodore Roosevelt, John Hay

The following Thanksgiving Proclamation was issued by President Roosevelt, November 2, 1901.

The season is nigh when, according to the time-hallowed custom of our people, the President appoints a day as the especial occasion for praise and thanksgiving to God.

This Thanksgiving finds the people still bowed with sorrow for the death of a great and good President. We mourn President McKinley because we so loved and honored him: and the manner of his death should awaken in the breasts of our people a keen anxiety for the country, and at the same time a resolute purpose not to be driven by any calamity from the path of strong, orderly, popular liberty, which as a nation we have thus far safely trod.
