Phil Helsel is a reporter for NBC News.
Almost four decades after it was stolen from a Buffalo, New York, museum, a pocket watch carried by the 26th president, Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt, was returned to his family home on Long Island, officials said. The silver pocket watch was returned to Sagamore Hill National Historic Site in Oyster Bay, which is where Roosevelt had the “Summer White House” during his presidency, the National Park Service and FBI said. The watch is engraved with Roosevelt's name and 'D.R. & C.R.R.
He would make a name for himself with the 'Rough Riders' during that conflict, and carried the watch during the charge up San Juan Hill, the National Park Service said. He also carried the watch as president, and during an exploration of the Amazon River in 1913, which nearly killed him. The watch was formally repatriated Thursday at a ceremony at the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, which included officials from the National Park Service and FBI.
