Swampy at the historic Menger Hotel, San Antonio, Texas
It’s the historic Menger Hotel where Teddy Roosevelt gathered his Rough Riders and made the plans to charge up San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War. The Riders were specifically selected from the South and Southwest with the thought that they would better be able to handle the Cuban weather.
Below are photos from inside The Menger Bar. The first photo is where Roosevelt met to plan out the trip in the loft of the bar. The last two are photos of part of the exhibit of the Roosevelt gathering.
