Résumé

Résumé : "The Rough Riders" by Theodore Roosevelt provides a detailed account of the formation, training, and deployment of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry during the Spanish-American War. Roosevelt, who served as the regiment's Lieutenant-Colonel, describes the diverse backgrounds of the men who joined the unit, which included cowboys, miners, Native Americans, and Ivy League athletes. The narrative begins with Roosevelt's determination to participate in the war, despite his position as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He recounts the challenges of organizing the regiment, emphasizing the importance of quick and efficient preparation to ensure they were among the first to see action. The Rough Riders were unique in their composition, drawing recruits from the Southwestern territories and beyond, creating a melting pot of rugged individualists and adventurers. Roosevelt highlights the rigorous training regimen and the camaraderie that developed among the men, which was crucial for their effectiveness in battle. The journey from San Antonio to Tampa is depicted as a test of endurance and logistics, with the regiment eager to prove themselves in combat. Roosevelt's account is not only a military history but also a reflection on change, discipline, and the American spirit of adventure.
Biographie : Theodore Roosevelt Jr. ( ROH-zə-velt; Octr 27, 1858 - January 6, 1919), often referred to as Teddy or by his initials, T. R., was an American politician, statesman, soldier, conservationist, naturalist, historian, and writer who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He previously served as the 25th vice president under President William McKinley from March to September 1901 and as the 33rd governor of New York from 1899 to 1900. Assuming the presidency after McKinley's assassination, Roosevelt emerged as a leader of the Republican Party and became a driving force for anti-trust and Progressive policies.
