1877 Leave for Fort Sheridan.

Historians are requested to stop
writing about the Spartan women and
turn their attention to Denver and
Colorado. for these women demon
strated true patriotism and bravery at
the union station when they bid their
husbands, sons, brothers and sweet
hearts goodbye. One hundred and fif-
ty-seven of the stalwart sons of Colo
rsdo left for the second officers train
ing camp at Fort Sheridan. There
wasn't mother or q father or wife
or sister or a sweetheart who was
going 10 let her own particular boy
see tears in her eyes or hear tears in
her voice. That's why historians can
abandon the Spartan women and turn
to Denver and Colorado. There were
Isl men on the train of the 1872 Colo
rado men accepted for the Fort Sher-
itan camp. The other thirty-five have
gone on to Chicago and will join the
others at Fort Sheridan.
