The Alamo Podcast Explores Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders

Listeners will hear the Alamo’s Researcher Thomas Ledesma explain why Teddy Roosevelt formed the Rough Riders, how the historic Menger Hotel in Alamo Plaza gained the lore of being their recruiting spot, and how the Alamo remembers the Rough Riders’ legacy today – including with a statue between the brand-new Texas Cavaliers Education Center and the Menger Bar.
