THE National Rough-Rider Military Encampment is the outgrowth of ideas crys- 

 tallized by the late War with Spain, and is an institution made necessary by the 

 great changes in military tactics which the last 10 years have recorded. The 

 development of the Rough-Rider has progressed steadily for 30 years. How gloriously 

 he showed his mettle in the War with Spain, and how gallantly he is doing it to-day in 

 the Philippines and in South Africa, are matters of recent history. 



In the Shenandoah Valley, in Colorado, has been found an ideal spot for the devel- 

 opment in young men of all that is brave and true and free. In this school of nature, 

 aided by all that is highest in education and science, the student will be trained in self- 

 reliance, in quickness of decision, in accuracy of judgment and in a thousand other 

 things that help to develop the young man into the finished soldier. Not only this, but 

 the life he will be compelled to lead will be such as will expand his chest, harden his 

 muscles, and put that sort of glow in his heart and in every nerve and fiber of his 

 body only to be gained by continuous exercise in the open air, and in a dry, healthful 

 climate. 



The student in this Encampment will lead an outdoor life the whole year round. 

 He will live in a tent, and his duties will largely be such as if he were actually a mem- 

 ber of a scouting party or some similar body of Rough-Riders in the field. He will 

 ride, hunt, study and drill, all under the supervision of competent and well-known 

 officers of the United States Army. 



NO AGE LIMIT 



Any person able to ride a horse and shoulder a rifle may become a member of the 

 organization.
