A general view
The Rough Riders Memorial commemorates those members of the "Rough Riders" who died in the Spanish-American War in 1898. The grey granite shaft was erected by surviving members of the Rough Riders and their friends and supporters. Although formally named the "1st United States Volunteer Cavalry", the press nicknamed the regiment the "Rough Riders" because most of the men were cowboys, frontiersmen or similar rough people from the West.
