Speaking of the early organization of
Company A the National Guardsman
says: :''This company is the Oldest in the
state, and carries d record I'd to none of
honorable service as a company of the
National Guard, aid also as one of the
companies sent by the state to particl-
pate III the recent Spanish American
war. The boys did not have an oppor-
tunity to leave the bounds of the United
States, in which they were very much
disappointed, but their service while in
camp in tie southern states was one of
which any state might we'll be proud
and the citizens of New Ulm should feel
especially proud of its pioneer company.
This city has furnished not little to the
history of Minnesota, and not the least
of the things to which 1T points to with
pride is its record in connection with
the military organization of the state,
for here it was that the movement first
assumed form and vitality and met with
proper encouragement. Thirty years
~
have elapsed since then, but the interest
still keeps up and the impetus originally
given the movement IN New Ulm has
borne fruit in brigade organization
that the state today would he loathe to
part with.
Col Bohleter was the head and front
OF the movement at its birth, and the in :
terest which he manifested was no doubt
due to the fact that he had served In the
army and Was naturally of a military
disposition, and to the further fact that
.he realized the necessity in growing
commonwealth of organized military
protection.
