July
5, 1918 – Perhaps the only home guard company of women in the
United States is boasted by Woodstock, Minn., a patriotic town near Pipestone.
Home guardswomen there are equipped with feminine uniforms of true military cut
and with real rifles with which to drill.
Governor Burnquist reviewed the guardswomen the guardswomen’s company during the Fourth of July celebration at Pipestone, according to Captain Albert Wright, who accompanied the Governor on the speaking trip and returned late today to St. Paul.
