Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Rare collection of original signed documents and photographs taken during President Theodore Roosevelt's days asÂColonel of the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry, or Rough Riders. The collection includes an original mounted photograph of Roosevelt in full uniform with his campaign hat; two cabinet card photographs of Albert S. Johnson, a member of the Cavalry; an endorsement dated September 7, 1998 which reads in part, "This officer did not serve in Cuba but remained in Florida with the squadron left behind" signed, "T. Roosevelt" which is affixed to the verso ofÂof Albert S. Johnson's 5 September 1898 application for 60-days leave; and a military record discharging Johnson from the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry with remarks from Captain R.H. Bruce and Theodore Roosevelt, "Did not serve under me personally; is reported to me as a good and loyal officer. T. Roosevelt col 1st U.S.V."ÂJohnson's application for leave was ultimately denied as his regiment was about to be disbanded and taken out of service.ÂIn near fine condition. An exceptional collection. Documents from Roosevelt'sÂRoughÂRider daysÂare rare. Colonel Leonard Wood and Theodore Roosevelt founded of the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry in 1898 at the onset of the Spanish-American War. Hostilities between the United States and Spain began in the aftermath of the internal explosion of the USS Maine in Havana harbor in Cuba, prompting intervention by the United States in the Cuban War of Independence fought against Spain. President William McKinley appointed Wood to organize the volunteer brigade, who in turn appointed Roosevelt as his second in command. Nicknamed the âRough Ridersâ by journalists, the cavalry engaged in several battles and was made of mostly college athletes, cowboys, ranchers, and outdoorsmen from the southwest portion of the U.S. The term 'Rough Riders' was familiar at the time from Buffalo Bill whose famous western show "Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World" gained popularity throughout the late 19th century. The Rough Riders remains Rooseveltâs best-selling work, and provides incredible insight into one of the most fascinating regiments in American military history.
