Page 1 • Panel 1 — The Kettle Hill Ridge
Dense tropical smoke hangs thick over the Cuban grass. Spanish Mauser rounds snap past the Rough Riders pinned down behind the sunken lane. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt sits tall on his horse, Little Texas, scanning the ridge with his spectacles gleaming.
"We cannot stay here and be killed by inches! Forward, men — follow me!"
Page 1 • Panel 2 — The Uprise Charge
Roosevelt spurs Little Texas up the steep incline, blue polka-dot handkerchief fluttering from his Stetson hat. Cowboy volunteers, Ivy League athletes, and Buffalo Soldiers charge side-by-side through the wire entanglements.
"Hold your fire until you see the blockhouse! Keep moving!"
Page 1 • Panel 3 — Summit Victory
The Rough Riders reach the summit of Kettle Hill, driving back defender positions. Roosevelt dismounts near the iron sugar kettles, waving his hat to direct fire toward San Juan Heights.
"The day is ours! Secure the ridge and bring up the Gatling guns!"
