Description:
In 1898, as the Spanish-American War was escalating, Roosevelt assembled an improbable regiment of Ivy-Leaguers, cowboys, Native Americans, African Americans, and Western-Territory land speculators. The group of 1000 men, which became known as the Rough Riders, trained for 4 weeks in the Texas desert and then set sail for Cuba. Over the course of the summer, Roosevelt's riders fought valiantly, and sometimes recklessly, in the dense Cuban forest, incurring casualties at a far greater rate than the Spanish. Roosevelt kept a detailed diary of the campaign, and after his return to New York, Roosevelt published "The Rough Riders" to immediate success and acclaim. His success in war and the phenomenal popularity the book's publication brought him laid the foundation for Roosevelt's campaign for Governor of New York, and ultimately his move into the White House.
