One of the most famous of all the units in the history of the American armed services, “Rough Riders” was the name given to the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt in the Spanish-American War. After their heroics at the Battle of San Juan Hill in Cuba, the war soon ended and by August 14, 1898 the Rough Riders were back in the United States and encamped at Montauk at the tip of Long Island. They would be mustered out on September 15 and pass into history.
Charles Scribner's Sons would publish TR's most famous work, "The Rough Riders", in 1899.
Highly uncommon correspondence from the future President while with his recently returned troops on Long Island.
