May 4, 1898 – “In response to America’s declaration of war on Spain, dozens of Washington County men [volunteered] to join the Minnesota Thirteenth Regiment, Company K for the Spanish–American War. They [were] encamped at the St. Paul fairgrounds, quartered four to a stall in stock barns. During their encampment, thousands of visitors stop by to see them off.”
