Correct this sentence for historical accuracy:

Theodore Roosevelt rode up San Juan Hill, leading the charge.

Theodore Roosevelt rode up Kettle Hill, leading the charge.

I did.  Theodore Roosevelt was mounted, though the Rough Riders he led up Kettle Hill were dismounted.

I am sorry. I meant that to everybody, nothing against you.

And no it is not Harry Dent.

You are correct.
