"You Furnish the Pictures, I'll Furnish the War."

On this day, 118 years ago, the Battle of San Juan Hill was fought.

The Rough Riders got the glory, but they fought in support of an attack by the Buffalo Soldiers of the 10th Cavalry. That was a point that the press pretty much ignored at the time, but that the historians haven't.

The Spanish-American War may not have been the first war that Americans were fed large doses of propaganda and lies in order to gain national support for fighting, but it sure as hell wasn't the last.
