A grouping of 16 stereoviews of Rough Riders, ca. 1880-1920. Published by at least four (4) different entities. The Rough Riders was the nickname for the 1st U.S. Cavalry, the only regiment to see combat in the Spanish-American War. Led by Theodore Roosevelt at one point, the regiment is best remembered for its conduct during the Battle of San Juan, where the U.S. suffered more casualties yet still came out victorious.
