<I>Charge of the 24th and 25th Colored Infantry and Rescue of the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill, July 2nd, 1898</I>

The Battle of San Juan Hill brought fame to Col. Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. But if not for the charge of the 10th Cavalry and 24th Infantry regiments, Roosevelt's troops might have been defeated. Although the 25th Infantry did not charge up San Juan Hill with the 24th as depicted here - it was fighting the Battle of El Caney at the time - this print nevertheless captures African American participation on San Juan Hill.
