One Little Hill
Joel Richey
[3] Dodging and jumping through whistling and banging bullets, the American Rough Riders—who charged up San Jaun Hill—took possession of the enemy’s strongest position. ... [2] During the whole war in Cuba there were only 578 Rough Riders sent into battle, yet they made a tremendous impact on the war and specifically the battle for San Juan Hill. ... [1] They re-enforced and positioned thousands of well-supplied and ready men on that hill who held it firmly. ... [4] Entrenched on the high ground, the Spaniards looked like little mounds of dirt on the grassy hill. ... [5] Since the right and left sides of the hill would be under heavier cannon and mortar fire, the only possible attack would be right up the center of the Hill. ...
[3] Surprisingly only two Spanish locations were engaged and taken that day, one at El Caney and one on the San Juan Heights. ... [2] At San Juan Hill, the Spanish forces were entrenched and firing from the grassy heights.
