Spanish American War
Spanish American War
On April 21, 1898, the United States of America declared war against Spain. On the 23rd, U.S. President William McKinley issued a call for volunteers for service in the Army. Richmond citizens Oscar A. Anderson, Dio Rogers, James Thompson, and George E. Doty heeded the call.1 The U.S. only needed 50,000 men, but was surprised when 220,000 men signed up. Because of this, only George was selected to serve, and was the only Richmond citizen to participate in the war.
