The father of young Capron, the hero
of Las Guasimas. was not a veteran
fighter of the civil war, but he en-
braced the profession of soldier in the
midst of that conflict. Graduating at
West Point in 1867, he went to the
plains and saw enough warfare to bring
out the Spartan stuff in his make up.
1t is well known hat he was the son of
a battery hero of the Florida and Mex
lean wars.
The third Allyn Capron entered the
army as a private and worked his way
up through all the noncommissioned
grades to a lieutenancy, and when the
rough riders took the field asked to &C

the fray of 1893.
One of the first acts of Secretary Alger
on arriving at Camp Wikoff, after a
courteous call at the headquarters Of

tiers of the Thirteenth infantry. The
command was paraded, or at least so
much of it as could stand up, and after

Of officers tents and in one of them the
gray haired leader of a hundred fights
