Abstract: In April 1898 the United States went to war with Spain, and men volunteered from all walks of life to become "Rough Riders" in Theodore Roosevelt's regiment in Cuba. Joe Cummings weaves together the stories of three Rough Riders - Roosevelt, Frank Frantz, and Walter Cook - to illustrate how the common experience of war can unite even the most dissimilar of Americans and change their lives.
