Rough Riders with Theodore Roosevelt on San Juan Hill |
Roosevelt became a trading center for the local cotton farmers and a gin was soon built in town. Cotton may have given way to other businesses, however, since now there are advertisements for "tourists" to spend their afternoons at a local winery (Windmill Winery) and, of course, ranchers continue to raise cattle on the local prairie lands. I particulary enjoyed seeing a recent advertisement by the local 4 Star Ranch for their longhorn "Buttermilk".
