San Juan Hill Blockhouse Fight in 1898 Recall
A Spanish blockhouse on the crest near San Juan Hill with trenches and outbuildings gave fierce cover as U.S. cavalry and infantry pressed forward. Majors Weasels and Foró fell, Ord of the Sixteenth led a heroic charge, and troops from the Third and Ninth Cavalry struggled for the ridge above Kettle Hill and the Caney route.
