The common name of the first volunteer cavalry was the "Rough Riders." This unit was famously led by Theodore Roosevelt during the Spanish-American War in 1898. Comprised of a diverse group of volunteers, including cowboys, miners, and college athletes, the Rough Riders became known for their charge up San Juan Hill, which played a significant role in the war's outcome. Their legacy remains a symbol of American bravery and camaraderie.
