my great grandfather was a doctor with Roosevelt's rough riders and he died in Cuba. He was 83 goddamnit and he could'nt ride - my grandad that is, not Roosevelt. As a newly qualified doctor he fought in the Indian Wars.

There has never been a great president that couldn't ride a horse.

[SteveShredda]

@Gnillob802 Yeah, but there has been a great doctor who couldn't ride - my great grandfather, see above

Thanks for posting this.

I learned over the summer that TR & another Rough Rider (Scobey - Co L) are both distant cousins of mine!
