He organized the first Volunteer Cavalry Regiment which earned the name Rough Riders. They were a mixed crew ranging from cowboys to college students and adventurers. They would join in battle with regular troops during the war.

Buffalo Soldiers Along with the Rough Riders, this group played a major role in a very important battle… The Battle of San Juan Hill These African American members of the 9th and 10th Cavalries demonstrated a form of unity that had been lacking among many Americans. “White regiments, black regiments, regulars and Rough Riders, representing the young manhood of the North and South, fought shoulder to shoulder, unmindful of race or color, … mindful of their common duty as Americans.” — John J. Pershing,  quoted in The Life of General Pershing (MacAdam)
