The New Mexico Rough Riders were a volunteer cavalry unit that played a notable role during the Spanish-American War in 1898. Comprised largely of cowboys, ranchers, and miners from New Mexico, they were inspired by the more famous Rough Riders led by Theodore Roosevelt. This group fought valiantly in the Battle of San Juan Hill and other engagements, contributing to the U.S. military efforts in Cuba. Their legacy is celebrated in New Mexico for their bravery and service.
