The Rough Riders (1899) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781160947916)

The Rough Riders is a historical account of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry, a regiment formed by Theodore Roosevelt during the Spanish-American War in 1898. The book chronicles the regiment's formation, training, and deployment to Cuba, where they fought in the Battle of San Juan Hill. Roosevelt, who was then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, resigned his position to lead the regiment and became a national hero as a result of his leadership during the war. The Rough Riders is a detailed and vivid portrayal of the soldiers, their experiences, and the challenges they faced during the conflict. The book also provides insight into Roosevelt's leadership style and his belief in the importance of military service. Overall, The Rough Riders is a fascinating and important historical document that offers a unique perspective on the Spanish-American War and the role of the United States military in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
