Battle Plans and Movements Before El Caney and San Juan Heights
Tactical notes recount General Shafter's cautious plan for the July 1 assault on El Caney and San Juan heights. Lawton's 5,000 men faced El Caney while Wheeler and Kent prepared the San Juan approach, with Grimes coordinating bombardment and Capron's battery supporting the El Caney fight.
