"Theodore Roosevelt as a Rough Rider." Postcard Series No. 2333 from Raphael Tuck & Sons.

            Copyright 1898 by B. J. Falk

Shows Theodore Roosevelt during the Spanish American War as Colonel of the group of volunteer soldiers he helped recruit known as the "Rough Riders."  He even went out and had a special uniform made for him at Brooks Brothers, seen here proudly showing it off.  

From the back of the postcard: 

"At the outbreak of the Spanish American War Theodore Roosevelt resigned as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and having had practical experience as a horseman of the plains, during his ranching days in North Dakota, organized the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry,  familiarly known as the "Rough Riders," made up  largely of cowboys, frontiersmen, college athletes and other picked men, whose most notable exploit was the charge at San Juan Hill, Cuba, when the regiment lost 8 men killed and 34 wounded."
