"The original nickname for the regiment was "Wood's Weary Walkers" after its first commander, Colonel Leonard Wood and an acknowledgment of the fact that despite being a cavalry unit they ended up fighting on foot as infantry. When Colonel Wood became commander of the cavalry brigade (1st U.S. Cavalry, 10th U.S. Cavalry, and 1st U.S.V. Cavalry) the Rough Riders then became "Roosevelt's Rough Riders". That term was familiar in 1898, from Buffalo Bill who called his famous western show "Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World". âe¢ JOHN STETSON COMPANY âe¢ GOOD PRE OWNED CONDITION âe¢ SIZE LONG OVAL 7-1/4 US - 7-1/8 UK - 58 CM - 22-3/4âe HEAD SIZE âe¢ COLOR IS KHAKI âe¢ BRIM IS 3âe âe¢ CROWN 5âe âe¢ BLACK & GOLD ACORNS HEAD BAND âe¢ CAVALRY BRASS HAT INSIGNIA WITH 1ST USV TROOPER PIN & 7th CAV PIN Terms are net (10) days.
