1898 Spanish American War Patriotic Cover

Came home from the club meeting tonight with this cover. It appears to have a replaced stamp on it, but I like it and thought it belonged in my collection. I can't wait to research it....

I pulled a bit of info off the web, but hesitate to share it, as it would surely spoil your fun in researching it.
samb, let me know if OK to share.

Googled 13th Minnesota volunteers and got this site:

files.usgwarchives.net/mn/statewide/military/rost13mn.txt

Quoting from it:

"On May 16, 1898, the 13th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry departed Camp
Ramsey, St. Paul, Minnesota and set out for San Francisco, California.
On June 26, the regiment steamed for Manila. The troops stopped at Pearl
Harbor on July 5 and remained there until July 8, when their trip to the
Philippines resumed."

Also:

"NON-COMMISSION STAFF

Sergt. Major Feodor E. Krembs, St. Paul, Minn."

Didn't check on Mrs. Krembs at 1427 Montana St.  Maybe she was staying with a relative?

Found this site and it pretty much told me everything about Sgt. Maj. Feodor Krembs. Even has a letter written home to Mrs. Krembs 2 months later from Manila, Philippine Islands.
