Více o knize

The narrative highlights the valor and organization of the Rough Riders, a volunteer cavalry unit during the Spanish-American War, handpicked for their youth and ability to endure Cuba's climate. Comprising skilled riders, including cowboys and veterans, they were well-trained and equipped due to Theodore Roosevelt's influence. The book serves as Roosevelt's homage to his troops, celebrating their bravery and sacrifice, particularly during the iconic charge at San Juan Hill, which solidified their place in history.
