In The Last Charge of the Rough Rider: Theodore Roosevelt's Final Days, author William Elliott Hazelgrove examines the concluding years of Theodore Roosevelt's life, focusing on his fervent desire to lead a volunteer regiment in World War I. Spanning from April 1917 to Roosevelt's death in January 1919, the narrative delves into his efforts to reassemble the Rough Riders for combat in Europe, a pursuit ultimately thwarted by President Woodrow Wilson.
