The "Rough Riders" were significant because America loves Heroes. Many of our military heroes have become President (Washington, Grant). The Rough Riders, with Theodore Roosevelt as their Colonel Commanding, were heroic in their exploits, and their acts of heroism made all the papers.

∙ 13y agoIt was Theodore Roosevelt who commanded the Regiment at that time since Colonel Leonard Wood had been promoted to Brigadier General in command of the Cavalry Brigade which included the 9th and 10th Regiments as well as the Rough Riders. The 9th and 10th had already done the heavy lifting of the day by taking Kettle Hill and joined the Rough Riders for the charge up San Juan Hill. Little mention is made of the fact that Buffalo Soldiers were there, but the photographic evidence doesn't lie on that count. Frederic Remington's painting of the charge is lilly white, but the group photo taken at the top tells a much different story.
