Which best described the battlefield situation faced by the Americans at the Battle of San Juan Hill?

America faces many challenges before even reaching San Juan Hill such as 500 villagers fighting off the Americans. Another thing that proved to be difficult was the Spanish shooting down hundreds of American soldiers. However these issues are overcome in the result of capturing Kettle Hill as well as San Juan Hill. All in all, the challenges the Americans faced were due in part to the Spanish defenders of the village and the Spanish artillery.
