Carl Hughes had graduated from
Lincoln school and had just entered
the Topeka high school as a freshman
when the Spanish-American war was
declared. Seized with the spirit of
patriotism he attempted to enlist in
the Twentieth Kansas but was reject

only seventeen years of age. But that
did not deter him. He sought enlist

saw service at Santiago, became sick
and was sent back to New York for
care in a hospital After getting
strong he went with his regiment to
