Rather than a formal studio portrait, this pencil drawing shows the man the board files under "Colonel, San Juan": Theodore Roosevelt in the uniform he wore during the Spanish-American War in 1898. Roosevelt left his post as assistant secretary of the Navy to help raise a volunteer cavalry regiment, the Rough Riders, and by the fighting near Santiago de Cuba he was its colonel. His men joined the assault on the San Juan Heights on July 1, 1898, and his charge up nearby Kettle Hill made him a national figure. The mustache, cap and military dress in this drawing reflect the image of him that circulated widely after the campaign.
