CHAPTER II.
POLK COUNTY'S CONTRIBUTION TO IOWA'S ROLL OF HONOR IN THE SPANISH- AMERICAN WAR.
The annals of 1898-99 in Book III, tell the story of the part taken by Des Moines and Polk county in the Spanish-American war. Though the sons of their fathers saw less of service and suffered less of hardship and loss than their fathers, they none the less unreservedly risked all in response to the call for service, and are therefore none the less entitled to place in the permanent war record of their county. The list which follows, carefully made from the adjutant-general's report for 1898-99, includes all who are of record as having enlisted from Polk county.1
