This group of men, which became known as the Rough Riders, trained for four weeks in the Texas desert and then set sail for Cuba. Over the course of the summer, Roosevelt's Rough Riders fought valiantly, and sometimes recklessly, in the Cuban foothills, incurring casualties at a far greater rate than the Spanish. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRoosevelt kept a detailed diary from the time he left Washington until his triumphant return from Cuba later that year. \u003cb\u003eThe Rough Riders\u003c\/b\u003e was published to instant acclaim in 1899.
