Description
Photographic portrait of seven veterans of the Spanish-American War known as "The Tough Bunch" or "The Bad Gang" of "Teddy's Terrors", 1904. Six of the seven men are dressed in cavalry uniforms with their pistols brandished at the camera, while the seventh, standing slightly behind them, is dressed like a bellboy and may or may not be part of their group. A man who might be Theodore Roosevelt is the rightmost cavalryman. A young boy and other onlookers stand in the background, where a steam locomotive engine can be seen. They are likely at Colton Station in San Bernardino.
