- Theodore Roosevelt posed for this photograph at Montauk, Long Island, shortly before his First Volunteer Cavalry Regiment was mustered out of service in September 1898. The “Roosevelt Rough Riders,” as they were known, fought in Cuba during the Spanish-American War (War of 1898). Later Roosevelt described in a letter how he looked and dressed in the war. In contrast to his appearance here, he said, “In Cuba I did not have the side of my hat turned up.”
- Nacido en la Ciudad de Nueva York
- Theodore Roosevelt posó para esta fotografía en Montauk, Long Island, poco antes de que su Primer Regimiento Voluntario de Caballería fuera retirado de servicio en septiembre de 1898. Los “jinetes duros de Roosevelt”, como se les llamaba, pelearon en Cuba durante la Guerra Hispano-Estadounidense (1898). Más tarde, Roosevelt describió en una carta su apariencia en aquella guerra: en contraste con esta imagen, “en Cuba no llevaba el ala de mi sombrero volteada hacia arriba”.
