The 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry, popularly known as the Rough Riders, is forever identified with Theodore Roosevelt. The unit was composed mainly of frontiersmen from the West. They were led initially by Colonel Leonard Wood, with Roosevelt as lieutenant colonel. Roosevelt later assumed command upon Wood’s promotion to brigadier general. The Rough Riders engaged in battle at Las Guásimas and in the San Juan range campaign. Favorites of journalists, the regiment went to war like a college football team complete with its own cheer: “Rough, rough, we’re the stuff. We want to fight, and we can’t get enough. Woopee!”
