The citizens of Nebraska began a movement to return the soldiers to their homes and to this end solicited subscriptions. The sum of $40,342.75 was raised within a short time, David E. Thompson, of Lincoln, giving $20,000 and William J. Bryan, $1,250. The regiment left Frisco on August 25th and on September 14th were accorded to patriotic reception by the citizens of Lincoln. The day was spent in honor to those who had returned and in respect to those who gave their lives for their country. The Legislature of 1901 made an appropriation of $36.315.45. the amount expended to return the soldiers from San Francisco, and ordered that the same be given back to the men who had so willingly subscribed funds.


The Second Regiment, Nebraska Volunteer Infantry, entered the service of the United States on April 27, 1898. After the muster in was completed the regiment was ordered to Chickamauga Park, Georgia. They left Lincoln on Thursday, May 19th, and arrived at Camp Thomas May 22d. Here they remained until August 31st. then left for Omaha, arriving on September 3d. The men were mustered out on the 24th of October, 1898. The regiment suffered twenty- six deaths from disease and one by accident.


The Third Regiment, Nebraska Volunteer Infantry, was organized at Omaha and mustered in July 3, 1898. On July 18th the regiment was transported to Jacksonville, Florida, and four days later arrived and encamped at Panama Park, Camp Cuba Libre. The regiment became part of the first brigade, third division, seventh army corps. On September 9th the regiment was removed to Pablo Beach, Florida. On October 2d they were forced out of camp by the ocean flooding the camp during a severe windstorm and two days afterward returned to Jacksonville and became part of the first brigade, first division, seventh army corps. On October 24th they moved to Camp Onward, Savannah, Georgia, and then to Havana, Cuba, on the transport Obdam, also transport Michigan. The troops left on the 30th and 31st of December and arrived on the Ist and 2d of January. They were quartered with the seventh army corps at Camp Colum-

bia, Havana, until April 7th, then embarked on the United States transport Logan; were in quarantine at Daufuskie, South Carolina, and on the 18th embarked for Savannah. On the 19th they left for Augusta, Georgia, and were there mustered out at Camp Mackenzie. Thirty-two men of the regiment died of disease during their term of service.


Troop K, Third Regiment, United States Volunteer Cavalry, located at Milford, Nebraska, was enrolled in the United States service on May 7, 1898, and were mustered in at Lincoln, Nebraska, on May 14th. On May 20th the troop left for Chickamauga Park, Georgia, and remained there until mustered out, September 8, 1898. Two men died of disease.


As the roster following will show, the First Regiment was the only one from Nebraska suffering any casualties from battle. Their loss was unusually heavy. In all the regiments disease was too prevalent and the opinion prevailed that had better sanitary conditions been observed and the men better cared for, such would not have been the case. Many and often were the protests by the enlisted men, not only against their physical condition, but against the treatment accorded them by certain officers. The case of Col. John M. Stotsenburg is a notable one. He was criticized very freely by his men, and by Nebraskans in general, for his methods of handling troops, his treatment of the men under him. The protest grew to such proportions that it was officially presented at Washington and investigated. Many things were chalked up against his record, things which are useless to record here, but whatever may have been his faults and mistakes he paid the highest price at Quingua within his power, when on April 23. 1899 he was killed by an enemy's bullet. Colonel Stotsenburg's body was brought to this country and for a time lay in state in the state capitol of Nebraska at Lincoln and was then interred in the national cemetery at Arlington. Colonel Stotsenburg had been a military instructor at the University of Nebraska prior to the war.


Following is the roster of soldiers who enlisted in 1898 from Lancaster County.
