Warning: Spoilers
This episode trivialized the Battle of San Juan Hill. They made it look like a small scale walk in the park with virtually no American deaths and the Spanish with just one cannon. The Shiloh Ranch Boys single handedly won the battle by stabbing a half dozen Spaniards. In reality, there were 144 American soldiers dead and over a thousand wounded. The Spanish had 85 of their soldiers killed. The Americans had 3 Gatling guns and the Spaniards several pieces of artillery. Although Theodore Roosevelt was featured prominently in this episode, he was curiously absent from the battle which had made him famous.
