In the Book "The Rough Riders" by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president, who during the Spanish American War
(1898) formend a volunteer unit to serve in Cuba. In his book he names most of the men who served with him. Hiram Turner
Brown is named twice, first as a trooper being transferred and later as being a Corporal.
Moved to New Mexico in 1875 from Manchester New Hampshire. He was a Civil Engineer by trade. In his later years
he worked at the Copper mines in Santa Rita NM. On May 4, 1898, at age 41, joined the 1st Regiment of the U.S. Cavalry
volunteers, under the command of Theodore Roosevelt. At the time of his enlistment he listed his occupation as an "Electrician".
At another time during his youth, he worked as a "Telegrapher" and it is believed that his skill as a communicator was probably
the reason for his acceptance in the Volunteer unit.
Hiram and his brother Calvin found a coal mine and sold the clam for fifty bucks.
According to Josie Del Frte the grand daughter says the claim is now worth millions. The mine was located in Hagen,
NM
