Excerpt from Two Rough Riders: Letters From F. Allen McCurdy and J. Kirk McCurdy of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Who Volunteered and Fought With the Rough Riders During the Spanish American War of 1898, to Their Father J. M. McCurdy

It was not difficult to raise a sufficient army; the trouble was in rejecting and dooming to dis appointment hundreds of the manliest, sturdy warriors the world has ever seen. Colonel Roose velt could have raised a brigade or even a division, but he was only allowed a regiment, which was fortunately enlarged from seven hundred and eighty to one thousand, giving a number of eager volunteers from the various colleges and high walks of life an opportunity to fight beside the southwestern regiments, who were men accustomed to hard service and a rough, out-door life.
