SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR PATRIOTIC COVER
1898
During the Spanish-American War of 1898, the War Department created a mustering and training camp at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, the site of significant Civil War battles. Trainees received mail via the camp's temporary post office. In 1890, Chickamauga and Chattanooga became the world's first federally protected battlefields. |
