Tuhia tētahi tohutoro mō tēnei wāhanga - I te tīmatanga o te Pakanga Paniora-Amerika i te tau 1898, i whakatairangahia ia ki te rangatira o ngā tūao, ā, i mahi ia hei kaiāwhina i te rangatira o te 2nd Cavalry Brigade. I whakawhiwhia ki a ia te Medal of Honor mo tana toa i te Pakanga o San Juan Hill
i te taha o Santiago, Cuba, i te Hōngongoi 1, 1898. Ahakoa i werohia ia ki te mahunga, ā, i matapotia ā-wā, i haere tonu ia ki te whakahau i ana tangata. I ngaro ia i te mahi tae noa ki Akuhata 1898 i a ia e whakaora ana i nga paanga o ona whara.
