 "Here are the renowned Rough Riders at the memorable battle of El Caney where the Spaniards fired on them from ambush, but who finally retreated after suffering great loss. Our Rough Riders made a name for themselves at this fight that will live forever. The tired and true soldiers spent the night upon their guns in the mud by the El Caney roadside. Of the original 1,500 Spanish soldiers, only 200 were left with their General."
