Roosevelt above the Potomac

Edmund Morris’s biography describes President Roosevelt hanging from a cable over the Potomac in 1902 to strengthen his wrists. A separate claim that as a young man he shot a neighbor’s dog after an argument with a girlfriend appears in later sensational retellings; it was not corroborated in the reliable biographical and archival sources checked here, so it is not presented as established fact.
