Spanish-American War collection, 1898-1934. 2 boxes; 1 oversize folder
The collection consists of material related to the participation of St. Louisans and
Missourians in the Spanish-American War. Material is arranged together due to common subject
matter, rather than provenance. Special items include maps, muster rolls, correspondence,
recruiting notices, war records, certificates, facsimile text of the peace treaty ending the war.
Most of this relates to activities in the Philippines. In addition, the collection includes a body of
material related to the war career and postwar veterans support activities of Jacob Kuhl (1876-
1951), the last survivor of the St. Louis crew who served with Admiral George Dewey at Manila
Bay. He also served in World War I, and had a great interest in veterans hospitalized in the
Carville, Louisiana, leprosarium.
