as skirmishers by rushes and double time, but soon found its front blocked by other troops.  Troop I advanced in two sections, the left being commanded by Lieutenant Miller, joined in the attack on the right of the enemy’s position; the right commanded by Lieutenant Fleming, advanced on trenches between two blockhouses, and in so doing caught up with the rest of the troop.  The first half of the troop, after attacking the blockhouse on right of the enemy’s position then crossed the valley and attacked the blockhouse on the left of enemy’s position, and then moved forward with the First Regular Cavalry and First Volunteer Cavalry, until the troop assembled as a whole.  When it reached the place of intrenchment there were altogether about one hundred men at that point of the ridge, consisting of men from the Tenth Cavalry and of the Rough Riders.  It is claimed by Lieutenant Anderson, who commanded Troop C, and who made his way to the front on the right of the line, that after coming up on the second hill and joining his troop to the left of Troop I, Colonel Roosevelt and part of his regiment joined on the right of the Tenth, and that he reported to him, placing C Troop in his command.  Before this time Lieutenant Anderson had reported to Captain Jones, of Troop F, while they were on Kettle Hill, and the Two troops, F and C, had been formed in skirmish line and moved against the second blockhouse.  In this movement Troop C got separated from Captain Jones, and Anderson, with 18 men of his own troop and several from other organizations, moved forward until he connected with Troop I, as previously narrated.  These troops, C and I, were reported by their Colonel as having joined the First Volunteer Cavalry.  All of the troop commanders who were immediately with the men bear hearty testimony to their good conduct.  Captain Jones, commanding Troop F, says:  “I could only do justice to the troop by mentioning by name all who were engaged, not only for their bravery, but for their splendid discipline under the most demoralizing fire.”  Lieutenant Fleming, commanding Troop I, says:  “The entire troop behaved with great gallantry.  Private Elsie Jones particularly distinguished himself.”  Captain Beck, commanding Troop A, says:  “The behaviour of the enlisted men was magnificent, paying studious attention to orders while on the firing line, and generally exhibiting an intrepidity which marks the first-class soldier.”  Lieutenant Hughes, who commanded the Hotchkiss gun detachment, mentions four men for conspicuous bravery and commends his entire detachment for “spirit, enterprise and good behavior.”
