Riders: "His company was sent to help the rongh riders at San Juan. In regard to this famous organization, Mr. Goodwin tells anew story, and as he was an eye witness it is given: The first prize of war consisted of 40 barrels of wine. The men under Roosevelt got it. Filling their canteens they stored the remainder' in their hides and went into hell itself. This was done notwithstanding the expostulations of the Cuban scouts who gave the warning that Spaniards were in ambush." The average barrel of wine, as it is marketed now, contains in the neighborhood of fifty gallons, making 2,000 gallons of wine absorbed by "Teddy's Terrors" before they went after the Spaniards. This was an average of over three gallons per man, as he had but about six hundred men with him, several troops having been left in Florida. It is safe to say that a man with three gallons of wine in him couldn't tell the difference between a Spanish ambuscade and an Arizona "high ball." In the light of cold facts it seems that the Parke county man would make a better special correspondent for a "yellow" newspaper than a soldier.
