Members of Company K, Thirteenth Minnesota

In response to America’s declaration of war on Spain, dozens of Washington County men volunteer to join the Minnesota Thirteenth Regiment, Company K for the Spanish–American War. They are 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.
