leonard wood
on the left trail, at approximately 7:20am, the four man point patrol 250 yds ahead of l troop commanded by captain alyn capron came across the dead spanish soldier killed by a cuban attack the previous day and which the cubans had told wheeler would indicate the proximity of spanish lines running left and right across the road. when informed of this by capron, leonard wood, who was about 500 yards back on the bridle path and commanding the rough riders ordered "silence in the ranks" and immediately deployed several troops to the left under major brodie and several troops to the right under lt. col. roosevelt. it was while this deployment was occurring that the point man shot a spaniard and triggered an immediate return fire by volleys on the part of the spaniards. rough riders on both left and right sides of the trail moved forward and eventually forced the spaniards back to their second line of trenches. continuing to advance, the rough riders eventually forced the spanish to withdraw completely from their final positions. rough riders from a troop on the far right linked up with their regular counterparts and helped them seize the spanish positions on the long finger-like hill to the right of the right road, with both rough riders and regulars meeting at the base of the finger-like hill. by this time it was approximately 9:30. reinforcements from the regular 9th cavalry arrived, but it was already 30 minutes after the fight.
