Final Jeopardy Explanation – Friday, December 15 2023

In his 1888 work “Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail,” Theodore Roosevelt described his two ranch hands as being “able to travel” like a bull moose. In reference to his two ranch hands, Bill Sewall and Wilmot Dow, Roosevelt stated that “There could have been no better men for a trip of this kind than my two companions, Sewall and Dow. They were tough, hardy, resolute fellows, quick as cats, strong as bears, and able to travel like bull moose.”

This comparison to the bull moose, an animal known for its strength, endurance, and ability to traverse challenging terrain, was a testament to the ruggedness and capability of his ranch hands. Roosevelt, an avid outdoorsman and observer of nature, often drew parallels between the qualities he admired in wildlife and those he respected in people. The bull moose, a symbol of resilience and hardiness in the wilderness, served as an apt metaphor for the toughness and stamina required of those living and working in the demanding environments of the American West during that era.
