Theodore Roosevelt stands among veterans of his Rough Riders at a reunion in San Antonio, Texas, in a photograph the caption dates to around June 23, 1905, though the record notes that the date is unverified. The regiment, formally the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, drew many recruits from the Southwest and Indian Territory and became famous for its charge up San Juan Hill in Cuba during the Spanish-American War of 1898, when Roosevelt served as its colonel. Underwood & Underwood issued this image as a stereograph, a card with two nearly identical photographs meant to be viewed through a stereoscope for a three-dimensional effect. Such cards were popular parlor items in the early 1900s.
