Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders at Montauk Point, New York — Video Dispatch

by Editor / Tuesday, May 21 2024 / Published in Dispatches from the Road

When Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders returned from their heroics in Cuba in August 1898, they were quarantined at Montauk Point at the tip of Long Island. After visiting Steinbeck’s home in nearby Sag Harbor, New York, Clay visited this historic site.

Over the next few months, Clay is shadowing Steinbeck’s 10,000-mile trek around the USA (and making a few detours of his own). Clay’s expedition is a central part of LTA’s big initiative to explore the country and take the pulse of America as it approaches its 250th birthday. Be sure to follow Clay’s adventures and subscribe to our newsletter.
