Lawton and Wheeler's Troops at San Juan Ridge Fight
Reports describe troop movements on July 1 during the assault near San Juan ridge. General Lawton pressed for written orders at El Caney while Chaffee’s men fought forward, with delays noted as the San Juan battle unfolded. Cavalry regiments under Sumner, Wessels, and other leaders challenged Spanish positions, enduring floods and heavy fire as they crossed the Aguadores and advanced along the Bloody Angle to secure the crest and trenches.
