Explanation:

I think the person in question is James Long and NOT John Long.

James Long was a doctor, merchant and an American filibuster who believed and fought for the freedom of Texas from Spain. About 300 men joined him in 1819 for the expedition to get Texas to become "Republic of Texas". He wanted the pirate, Jean Lafitte to help him but Lafitte refused.

Long was later captured and executed by Spanish troops in Mexico City. His wife, Jane Long remained in Texas taking care of a boarding house until she died.

the most famous of all the units fighting in cuba, the "rough riders" was the name given to the first u.s. volunteer cavalry under the leadership of theodore roosevelt. roosevelt resigned his position as assistant secretary of the navy in may 1898 to join the volunteer cavalry. the original plan for this unit called for filling it with men from the indian territory, new mexico, arizona, and oklahoma. however, once roosevelt joined the group, it quickly became the place for a mix of troops ranging from ivy league athletes to glee-club singers to texas rangers and indians.
