To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If I had taken it, being entirely inex- perienced in military work, I should not have known how to get it equipped most rapidly, for I should have spent valuable weeks in learning its needs, with the re- sult that I should have missed the Santiago campaign, and might not even have had the consolation prize of going to Porto Rico. Fortunately, I was wise enough to tell the Secretary that while I believed I could learn to command the regiment in a month, yet it was just this very month which I co...uld not afford to spare, and that therefore I would be quite content to go as Lieutenant-Colonel, if he would make Wood Colonel. "This was entirely satisfactory to both the President and Secretary, and, accordingly Wood and I were speedily commissioned as Colonel and Lieutenant- Colonel of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry. This was the official title of the regiment, but for some reason or other the public promptly christened us the 'Rough Riders. ' At first we fought against the use of the term, but to no purpose, and when finally the Generals of Division and Brigade began to write in formal communications about our regiment as the 'Rough Riders, ' we adopted the term ourselves.
