Roosevelt's Rough Riders: Fearless Cavalry of the Spanish-American War

Before becoming president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt organized the Rough Riders, a voluntary cavalry during the Spanish-American War. The group included cowboys, miners, law enforcement officials, and American Indians. The cavalry became famous before the war was even over. Infographics, sidebars, and fact boxes bring the experiences of these brave military men to life.
