Teddy Roosevelt’s A.H. Fox shotgun was custom-made for the president and given to him in 1908.

In 2010, one of the most historic American shotguns in existence set a record when it sold at auction for a staggering $862,500. The gun was an A.H. Fox double that once belonged to President Theodore Roosevelt. The buyer was the late Jason Roselius, a graduate of West Texas A&M University, who always hoped the shotgun would find a home at his alma mater. This week his vision finally comes to fruition as the Fox goes on display at the university-affiliated Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, Texas. “Jason bought it as a gift, which it truly is,” says Carol Lovelady, the museum’s executive director. Read on for more details and photos of the Roosevelt gun.

> For a century and a half, the last known ship to carry enslaved Africans to the United States sat submerged and undetected in Alabama’s Mobile-Tensaw Delta. Now, after an exhaustive search, the schooner Clotilda has been found in a remote stretch of the Mobile River. The ship had been burned after its final voyage in 1860, in which some 110 captives were taken from a slave port in what is now Benin on the West African coast. “Descendants of the Clotilda survivors have dreamed of this discovery for generations,” Lisa Demetropoulos Jones, executive director of the Alabama Historical Commission, told National Geographic. Read more about how the ship was found—including one false identification—and the next steps for the discovery.

> Auburn University and the University of Alabama are mourning the losses of beloved alumni over the weekend. Longtime Tigers radio announcer Rod Bramblett, 53, and his wife, Paula, 52, died of injuries sustained in a car crash on Saturday evening in Auburn. Paula worked in the university’s IT department while Rod was perhaps best known for his call of the stunning “Kick Six” play that lifted the Tigers over the Tide in the 2013 Iron Bowl. In Tuscaloosa, fans remembered former Alabama quarterback Bart Starr, who died Sunday at 85 in Birmingham. Starr, a Montgomery native who also played safety and punted for the Tide, went on to NFL greatness with the Green Bay Packers.

Spend time with your grandparents if you’re lucky enough to still have them. —Rhonda H.

Make a list of at least 100 places to visit, and then go. Your life will be thoroughly enriched. —Jody H.

Take a gap year. Get to know your extended family. Explore. Work enough to be able to travel a bit and volunteer a bit. Reconsider college vs. learning a trade: electrician, plumber, fence builder. —Angie B.

Greatest advice from Rodney Dangerfield for graduates: “As you go out into the world my advice to you is... don’t go! It’s rough out there. Move back with your parents. Let them worry about it.” —Vince C.

Learn to live on your paycheck and not your credit cards. —Bobbi

Spend much less time on your phone, Twitter, Facebook, et al, and more time talking to people face-to-face and developing relationships. —Paul F.

Take a breath and take one step forward. It will all work out, or it won’t. But you will always have the power to change your circumstances. Also, you really do need to be writing handwritten thank-you notes, so maybe invest in some monogrammed stationery. —Katie L.

Practice mindful meditation. Learn how to respond skillfully, not react. —Mike G.

Be careful of the choices you make, as some will follow you for the rest of your life. —Penny R.

Above all else, always be kind. —Jane T.
