Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 75pp. Illus. in text. Quarto. VG copy in illustrated card covers. Public interest in the 1898 Spanish-American War was particularly captivated by the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, a regiment of a thousand men, all "good shots and good riders" and recruited largely from the territorial West. Aptly nicknamed the Rough Riders, these men proved their fighting prowess when they stormed Kettle Hill and later, San Juan Heights, during the invasion of Cuba. A fresh and compelling look at the lives and times of those who participated in this brief, explosive slice of American history, with each article examining the period from a different point of view. Very well illustrated. Includes Selected Reading List. (Heavy item, may require additional postage on overseas orders).
