《The Rough Riders》（1899）讲述了第一美国志愿骑兵团的故事，这支军团在美西战争期间由罗斯福率领在古巴赢得赫赫声名。罗斯福讲述了该团如何由强悍的西南拓荒者与享有特权的东北部大学毕业生这一特殊群体组建而成，如何在得克萨斯接受训练，然后“向南航行穿过热带海洋驶向未知”。身处那个战争仍可被视作浪漫冒险的时代，罗斯福描绘了丛林作战的混乱，以及考验着士兵们的酷热、饥饿、暴雨、泥泞与疟疾……

……心甘情愿地冒着巨大的个人风险，除了马丁·路德·金或者乔治·巴顿，他大概算得上是美国历史上最优秀的政治领袖了。（我推荐他写的那本关于粗骑兵的书）。他最初投身政坛是作为一名反腐斗士，而且他把自己的财富用在了唯一应该用到的地方：让自己能够坚持原则。大家完全可以……
…willingly, often at great risk to themselves, and other than maybe Martin Luther King, or George Patton, he's probably the best political leader America has ever produced. (I recommend his book on the Rough Riders) His original involvemnent in politics was as a crusader against corruption, and he used his wealth for the one thing it should afford, which is to be able to stand by his principles. People are welcome…
对，换作是我肯定会做成完全不同的样子。雕塑的创作者和推广者希望它能大受欢迎，而罗斯福之所以成为英雄，部分原因是他领导的“粗骑兵”（Rough Riders）骑兵团，所以我猜他们是想抓住他人生中的那一段光辉岁月。
Yeah I would have made it differently for sure. The statue's artist and promoters wanted it to be popular, and Roosevelt was a hero in part for his Rough Riders cavalry unit so I assumer they were trying to hit on that part of his life.
你指的是哪本讲粗骑兵的书？https://www.amazon.com/Rough-Riders-Theodore-Roosevelt/dp/16... 这本吗？

……反抗西班牙对古巴的统治，并推动了包括罗斯福参与圣胡安山战役在内的一系列战争。我甚至都不确定罗斯福当年有没有挥舞军刀来指挥冲锋。引用罗斯福在《粗骑兵》（Rough Riders）中的话（见 https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/13000 ）：} 我真不知道伍德是怎么躲过中弹的，更搞不懂他的战马是怎么幸免于难的。我在行动一开始就丢下了自己的马，当时唯一的遗憾就是……
…against Spanish rule of Cuba, and promoted the war that included Roosevelt at the Battle of San Juan Hill. I'm not even sure that Roosevelt pointed out the attack with his sword. Quoting Roosevelt from "Rough Riders" at https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/13000 : } How Wood escaped being hit, I do not see, and still less how his horse escaped. I had left mine at the beginning of the action, and was only regretting…
在老罗斯福（TR）写的一本书里（可能是《Rough Riders》？），他提到自己小时候曾在纽约的家中目睹了林肯的葬礼行进队伍。
In one of TR's books (perhaps Rough Riders?), he mentions watching Lincoln's funeral precession as a child, from his family home in New York.
