Theodore Roosevelt led his Rough Riders from San Antonio to San Juan Hill and kept riding, some say, directly into the White House. Dale Walker's spirited story of the regiment includes an account of why America went to war over Cuba, and how victory in the Santiago Campaign was achieved against the odds. The author's interviews with the last three surviving Rough Riders (the last of whom died in 1975) are a unique research source for this book.--From publisher description. 610 10 $a United States. $b Volunteer Cavalry, 1st $b Volunteer Cavalry, 1st $x History. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Theodore, $d 1858-1919. 650 0 $a Spanish-American War, 1898 $x Regimental histories. 650 0 $a Spanish-American War, 1898 $x Campaigns $z Cuba. 600 17 $a Roosevelt, Theodore, $d 1858-1919. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00032496 610 17 $a United States. $b Volunteer Cavalry, 1st. $b Volunteer Cavalry, 1st. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00539982 650 7 $a Military campaigns. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710190 650 7 $a Regimental histories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354209 651 7 $a Cuba. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205805 650 17 $a Regimenten. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Spaans-Amerikaanse Oorlog. $2 gtt 648 7 $a 1898 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210526163650.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26EDD68EAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
