Fascinating circa-1900 voice recordings

Ever wonder what Theodore Roosevelt's voice sounded like? Or Woodrow Wilson's? Or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's? Check out this very interesting compilation entitled "25 Rare Recordings From Some Of The Most Important People At The Turn The 20th Century."



Apparently, they're all authentic, with the possible exceptions of William Jennings Bryan and Thomas Edison (whose voice was considerably more gravelly and accented than the one featured in this compilation.)
