Dan Tyler Moore (February 9, 1877 – April 14, 1941) was a career U.S. Army officer and an aide to President Theodore Roosevelt. An avid amateur boxer, and a sparring partner for Roosevelt, he struck the President in the eye, causing him to lose much of the sight of that eye. ==Early life== Moore was born in Montgomery, Alabama on February 9, 1877. He came from a family with a strong military heritage, and was the great-great-nephew of Aaron Burr. He grew up in Hanover, Germany and was educated in Switzerland. In 1898, he graduated from the Eidgenössische Polytechnische Schule in Zurich, two classes ahead of Albert Einstein.〔 Moore returned to the United States just before the Spanish–American War and was commissioned in the 15th Infantry. He served in Cuba from 1899 until 1901, then transferred to the artillery and served in the Philippines from 1902 until 1904. In 1904, he was made a military aide to President Roosevelt. While serving in that capacity, he served as a sparring partner for Roosevelt, who was an enthusiastic amateur boxer.〔 While boxing with the President, Moore struck Roosevelt so hard in the eye that the President lost sight in it. Moore did not learn of the result of the blow until 1917, and only from reading Roosevelt's statement of how he came to lose sight in that eye, in which Roosevelt did not name Moore, but Moore realized that only he fit the description.〔 (fee for article)〕 Moore stated, "But could you ask for any better proof of the man's sportsmanship than the fact that he never told me what I had done to him?"〔
