Cane

Middle: On September 7, 1902 Theodore Roosevelt toured the Civil War battlefields Chickamauga and Chattanooga in Tennessee. He received a wooden cane with a silver plaque that was supposedly cut from the battlefield and is inscribed with the names of three Union generals and three Confederate generals who fought in the battle symbolizing unity. The next day, TR referenced the symbolism of the cane when he gave a speech in Asheville, North Carolina urging "We never can succeed in making this country what it can and shall be made until we work together."�
