With the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, Oklahoma was given one troop of cavalry.  Enough answered the call that a full regiment could have been manned, but only 80 were mustered in initially.  They went on to become Troop D of the First Regiment of United States Volunteer Cavalry, later known as Roosevelt’s Rough Riders.  The initial muster list is as follows:
