The Rough Riders Rode By Here
1898
The intersection of Seventh Avenue and Twentysecond Street was a sandy cross-road connecting three army encampments in the Ybor City area during the Spanish-American War.
At this cross-road was located a water-trough where the Rough Riders watered their mounts.
Col. "Teddy" Roosevelt frequently rode by here on his horse "Texas," followed by this little dog, "Cuba."
Marker is on East 7th Avenue (La Séptima) west of North 22nd Street, on the right when traveling east.
