Battleship Maine

from ENDANGERED SPECIES by Jack Warshaw and friends

/

about

In 1898 the US Battleship Maine blew up at Havana, Cuba. The US blamed Spain, invaded Cuba and took over Spanish possessions, beginning the American overseas empire. This dog soldier’s view of the conflict is from a 1927 recording by Red Patterson's Piedmont Log Rollers, famously interpreted by the New Lost City Ramblers in 1958. Tom Paley, one of the original Ramblers takes up his guitar again for this one. The Rough Riders were the elite cavalry unit in which Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt, served. He became the 26th US President after McKinley’s assassination in 1901.
