Many more were doomed to die, either from Spanish bullets or from tbe ravages of disease, before their period of service was over.

The loss was but small compared to that which befell hundreds of regiments in some of ths great battles of the later years of the Civil war, but It may be dobbted whether there was any regiment which made such a record during the first months of any of our wars. Today San Juan hill Is a national park, having been made that by a decree of President Machado of Cuba last year. A monument tops the hill as a memorial to the galluntry of the Americans who faced the storm of Spanish lead there thirty years ago and heped the C'ubuns win their freedom. Put the Hough Itiders have another memorial in their own land. In the heart of Arlington National cemetery is a plot of ground known as the Hough Rider plot and there stands an imposing monument which bears the Insignia of the First United States Volunteer Infantry and upon which are Inscribed the names of the three engagements in which this regiment engaged Las Guasimas.
