The last word Mr. Dailey seems to have written was "Wright." No initial or regiment are shown opposite the name, but underneath is an address, indicating perhaps that he intended communicating with that address. Unfortunately he was not able to go further. Still, Asa Dailey's is by far the most complete list of Civil War soldiers of St. Louis County ever compiled.
May he rest in peace, knowing that he has well served his comrades.
Grand Army Activities .- Since the mustering out of the surviv- ing patriots in 1865, and their entry then into civil life, the histories of villages, cities, towns, states, and of the nation make it clear that the strongest force in American life has been that which shouldered the gun during the war. In various walks of civil life the men who proved their strength of character and purpose during the trying years of civil war took a prominent part. They and their sons and daughters have held the nation's helm in all that has since threatened ; and some have lived long enough to see that their grandchildren were destined to be the backbone which would not bend to the pressure of the mighty German military force in the most recent of the nation's wars. The work of the men of Civil War record has been especially evident through the activities of the Grand Army of the Republic once so strong but, alas, now faltering in old age, and unable now to carry on its purpose with the virility and vigor of the latter decades of the nineteenth century. St. Louis County, in common with other districts throughout the country, has had the good fortune to have had a strong and active grand-army force ; and it must be said that the county, as a whole, have sought to show the Grand Army posts that it appreciated the service of its members, both in military and in civil activities. One of the finest meeting places for a Grand Army post is that set apart and dedicated to their use in the Court House at Duluth.
And one of the most recent and gratifying indications that the Grand Army posts of St. Louis County are still usefully functioning is seen in the recent installation of an inspiring statue, entitled "Patriotism," on Court House Square, Duluth, placed there as a gift
Vol. 11-8
622
DULUTH AND ST. LOUIS COUNTY
to the city of Duluth from the J. B. Culver post of the Grand Army of the Republic to commemorate the service of soldiers and sailors to the nation in time of war.
The cornerstone of the statue was laid on Memorial Day of 1918, and on that day of 1919, it was dedicated by Dr. J. D. Budd, com- mander of the J. B. Culver post. The invocation and benediction were given by Rev. H. A. Ingham.
The statue stands as a recognition of the past, and as the hope of the future, for "Patriotism" will ever be the proud possession of St. Louis County ; sons and grandsons of the Civil War patriots have shown a like strength, and if there be a future need, the great-grand- sons will probably rally to the flag as fervently patriotic and self- sacrificing as were their forebears. Such is the heritage passed on by the stalwart men of 1861-65.
Spanish War .- After more than thirty years of peace, war clouds again gathered, this nation becoming involved in another struggle to free an oppressed people. And the nation was destined again to have it demonstrated that Minnesota was as ready as of yore to uphold the cause of liberty, by personal sacrifice-of life, if need be. It is said that Minnesota was the "first to respond to the call of President McKinley for volunteers at the beginning of the war with Spain." At 5 o'clock in the afternoon of April 25, 1898, Gov. D. M. Clough received the telegraphic requisition for three regiments of infantry .. The gov- ernor immediately replied : "Troops ready at once," giving statement as to arms, equipment, etc. They were to serve for two years, or during the war. The First, Second and Third regiments of the state troops, the National Guard units, were soon mobilized, and filled to war strength by careful selection from the abundance of volunteers available. By April 29th the National Guard regiments had mobilized, only four days after receipt of the first intimation from federal authori- ties that there was a need; and when the regiments passed into federal control they followed the numerical order of the infantry regiments of the Civil War, the First, Second, and Third regiments of National Guard becoming the Twelfth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth regiments of Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. Subsequently the Fifteenth Regi- ment was organized. In all of these regiments men of St. Louis county served, therefore some review of the regimental records should be given.
Twelfth Minn. Infantry .- The Twelfth Regiment of Minnesota Volunteer Infantry was enrolled on April 29, 1898, and mustered into the service of the United States at Camp Ramsey, St. Paul, on May 6 and 7, 1898. Col. Joseph Bobleter, of New Ulm, was in command. The regiment left Camp Ramsey, May 15th, for Camp Thomas, Ga., and was there assigned to First Brig., Third Div., First Army Corps. Transferred August 24, 1898 to Camp Hamilton, Ky., and left there Sept. 15, 1898, for New Ulm, Minn. Six days later the regiment "was furloughed for thirty days," and was mustered out of the service on November 5, 1898, the Spanish resistance having been broken, and there being no further need for all the troops mobilized.
Thirteenth Minn. Infantry was enrolled on April 29, 1898, and federalized at Camp Ramsey, St. Paul, May 7th, Col. C. McReeve commanding. On May 16th the regiment proceeded to San Francisco, California, to prepare for service in the Phillipine Islands. From Camp Merritt on June 26, 1898, the Thirteenth embarked on the steamer "City of Para," bound for Manila, P. I. The regiment debarked on August 7th at Paranaqua, P. I., marching to Camp Dewey

the same day. On August 13, 1898, the regiment participated in the battle before Manila, as a part of the Third Brigade, Second Division. On August 22nd the regiment was assigned to provost guard duty at Manila. It was relieved March 19, 1899, and ordered into the field as a unit of Third Brigade, Second Division, under command of Gen. R. P. Hall. March 25th and 26th it was engaged with insurgents in the Mariquina Valley. From March 29th to August 4th the Thir- teenth was on duty guarding the lines of communication and had numerous engagements, including the battle of Santa Maria, April 12th. Two battalions of the regiment were detached on April 23rd to form part of the Provisional Brigade, a unit of Lawton's expedition into the interior.
On August 4th the regiment was relieved from further duty in the Phillipines, and returned to Manila for embarkation; it reached San Francisco eventually on September 7th and debarked two days

later, marching to the Presidio camp, where it was mustered out on October 3, 1899.
Fourteenth Minn. Infantry .- The Fourteenth Regiment was enrolled on April 29th, 1898, and became United States troops on May 8, 1898, at Camp Ramsey, under command of Col. H. C. Vanduzec. Reached Camp Thomas, Ga., May 19, 1898. On August 28, 1898, left Camp Thomas for Camp Poland, Knoxville, Tenn., and on September 20, 1898, left for Camp Van Duzee, St. Paul, Minn., a week later, being furloughed. The regiment was finally mustered out of federal service on Nov. 18, 1898, the national war need being over. In the record of the Fourteenth Regiment, however, is service along the Great North- ern Railway during Indian unrest. "Several companies participated in the operations as a part of General Bacon's forces, returning in the afternoon of October 23, 1898."
Fifteenth Minn. Infantry .- This regiment was mustered into the United States Army at Camp Ramsey, St. Paul, Minn., July 9 to 18, 1898, under the second call of the President for volunteer troops.

From Camp Ramsey the regiment went to Camp Snelling, thence on September 15, 1898, to Camp Meade, Pennsylvania. On November 15, 1898, the regiment was transferred to Camp Mackenzie, Ga., and there remained until mustered out on March 27, 1899.
The men of the Minnesota regiments enlisted for service during the Spanish war were of fine physique, as may be imagined from the fact that only a limited number could be enlisted, whereas the young men of the state, almost as a whole, were eager to enlist. And had the war lasted, seriously, into the following year there is no doubt that the Minnesota regiments would have distinguished themselves as nobly as did the state troops of the Civil war. Fortunately, they were not called upon, with the exception of the Thirteenth, but their rec- ords nevertheless should be treasured among the military annals of the several divisions of Minnesota. St. Louis County's contribution, perhaps cannot be completely shown, but the best information now available is embodied in this chapter, so that the local veterans of the Spanish war may know that their national service (which in hardships and camp rigors, was as hazardous as that experienced by many of the units of the Civil war period, and of the last great World war), is not unappreciated. The most authentic record, perhaps, is in the rosters of the United Spanish War Veterans. The local veterans of that war are of record in the two camps of the county, the John G. McEwen Camp, of Duluth, and the Major Wilkinson Camp, of Chisholm. Culling the information from the official records of the United States Department of Minnesota, United Spanish War Veterans, it appears many of the contingent from St. Louis County enlisted in the 13th, 14th, and 15th Minnesota Volun- teer regiments. Those veterans that were on the roster of the John G. McEwen Camp in 1919 were: Alfred Arnson, 15th Minn .; Christ Anderson, 14th Minn .; H. Ahl, 14th Minn .; Louis G. Andrews, 5th Mass. ; J. A.
