The Battle of San Juan Hill is an actual misnomer, but was popularized in the American Press of the day. The actual battle was for the San Juan Heights. The heights were a north-south running elevation about two kilometers east of Santiago de Cuba. The names San Juan Hill and Kettle Hill were names given by the Americans. This fight for the heights was the bloodiest and most famous battle of the Spanish American War. It was also the location of the greatest victory for the Rough Riders as claimed by the press and its new commander, the future Vice-President and later President, Teddy Roosevelt. Overlooked then by the American Press, most of the heaviest fighting was done by African-American troops who took the heights.
