Rough Riders
THE AWARD-WINNING, NEW DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF TEDDY ROOSEVELT AND THE ROUGH RIDERS "Thrilling. ... A CLASSIC." —True West WINNER: Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Award; New Mexico-Arizona Book Award; and Colorado Book Award The now-legendary Rough Riders were a volunteer regiment recruited in 1898 to help drive the Spaniards out of Cuba. Drawn from America’s southwestern territories and led by the irrepressible Theodore Roosevelt, these men included not only cowboys and other Westerners, but also several Ivy Leaguers and clubmen, many of them friends of “TR.” Roosevelt and his men quickly came to symbolize American ruggedness, daring, and individualism. He led them to victory in the famed Battle of San Juan Hill, which made TR a national hero and cemented the Rough Riders’ iconic place in history. Now Mark Lee Gardner synthesizes previously unknown primary accounts—private letters, diaries, and period newspaper reports from public and private archives across the country—to breathe fresh life into the Rough Riders and pay tribute to their daring feats and indomitable leader.

Summary of Mark Lee Gardner's Rough Riders
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Spanish-American War was no surprise to Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt. For months, he had been doing everything in his power to make the navy ready for the great conflict he was certain was coming. He had no intention of observing the war from afar. #2 Roosevelt’s war fever was caused by America’s fever for war, or at least its long glorification of all things military. The Civil War had erupted just three years after Roosevelt’s birth in a New York City brownstone, and that conflict had exerted a strong influence on a young boy. #3 Roosevelt had always had something worth doing close to his mind. But it would take nine more years before he got another opportunity to do anything about it. In 1895, he wrote a letter to New York governor Levi P. Morton asking for a position in the Cuban force. #4 Roosevelt was a very competitive person, and he and Wood quickly became friends. They would often test the limits of their bodies, and Roosevelt’s asthma disappeared completely.
