COL Teddy Roosevelt led the charge up Kettle Hill in 1898, during the Spanish-American War of 1898. The newspaper men didn't like the sound of Kettle Hill so they chose the name of the hill top next to it, San Juan Hill. When advertising, the name is very important...that's why Hollywood actors CHANGE THEIR NAMES. During the war, San Juan Hill sounded a lot more romantic than Kettle hill. During the Revolutionary War the same thing occurred; the Battle of Bunker Hill was actually fought on the neighboring hilltop, called "Breed's Hill." Bunker Hill sounded far more romantic than Breed's Hill.
