Sinopsis

The indelible deeds and actions of the men of the Volunteer Cavalry


This account of the services of the famous, ’Rough Riders’ was written by Edward Marshall, a journalist of the New York Journal who accompanied the Rough Riders into battle and,indeed, was seriously wounded and incapacitated in consequence. Raised in 1898 the regiment saw action in Cuba during The Spanish-American War, though as infantry. Theodore Roosevelt (originally second in command) became its famous commanding officer. As most readers interested in this subject are aware, the original plan for the regiment was to recruit frontiersmen from the Western states, but its ranks soon attracted volunteers from the Eastern states including members of high society who were also accomplished horsemen, fine shots and keen for combat. The Rough Riders saw their share of action, but are principally remembered for their dashing assault on San Juan Hill. The affair conjured an iconic image of the emergent United States of America as it entered the world stage of politics and power in the spirit of what had formed the nation. Theodore Roosevelt became an abiding national hero. This fascinating history of The Rough Riders is accompanied in this Leonaur edition by an account of their famous charge written by Roosevelt based on his own experiences.
