Story
Along with Colonel Leonard Wood, Theodore Roosevelt instigated the founding of the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry in 1898 at the beginning of the Spanish-American War. Nicknamed the “Rough Riders” by journalists, the Cavalry engaged in several battles. This is Roosevelt’s best-selling account of one of the most fascinating regiments in American military history.

Not sure what I was expecting
Reviewed: 05-27-15
Would you try another book from Theodore Roosevelt and/or Brian Troxell?
Yes
Would you recommend The Rough Riders to your friends? Why or why not?
I had heard great things about this book, but found it merely interesting. I'm not sure why other readers were so enamoured.
What does Brian Troxell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Very much enjoyed Troxell's narration.
Could you see The Rough Riders being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Yes - no comment

Story
The Golden Capstone atop the Great Pyramid at Giza offered protection from the global flooding and scorching sun that occurs every 4,500 years due to the Tartarus Rotation solar event. But Alexander the Great broke the Capstone into seven pieces and hid them in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Now, in 2006, another Tartarus Rotation is due, and whoever places the reconstructed Capstone on the pyramid in time will gain absolute earthly power.
