Reseña del editor:

They were in some ways a relic of the old wars—a volunteer force, organized outside the regular military command, charging into battle. The Rough Riders, however, were no ragtag bunch thrown together to meet a national emergency; they were carefully selected for their youth, physical fitness, and adaptability to Cuba’s hot climate. They were a cavalry made up of skilled riders, of men of action—southwestern cowboys, ex-servicemen with combat experience, police officers. The Rough Riders were well-trained and well-led. Thanks to Theodore Roosevelt’s contacts in government and the military (having served as Secretary of the Navy), they were well-equipped. Roosevelt and his forces won lasting glory in the famous charge to the heights of San Juan hill. This book is Theodore Roosevelt’s tribute to those who served under him and especially to those who gave their lives to the cause for which they fought.
