WAHPETON, NORTH DAKOTA 1919 ^ Prefcace "N ATTEMPTING a work of this kind the publishers were con­ fronted with a huge problem. How it was eventually solved will be known when this volume is off the press. The pub­ lishers had for a long time felt that a volume of this nature was greatly needed in the county, as a permanent record of the service rendered by Richland county people during the great war. Other partially complete records of the service men had been compiled; Red Cross and Liberty Loan Campaign records were more or less complete; but no attempt had been made to gather all this informa­ tion into one place, or to make it generally available to the public. The pub­ lishers therefore decided to undertake the task, trusting to the generosity of the public for assistance in seeing it through. We shall be fully repaid for our trouble by the knowledge of the ready assistance rendered us wherever we have sought for it, and the knowledge that we have given to the people of the county a work of value to future generations.

  • Eager to Ship out to France As Soon As Possible. the Units Were Recruited from Over 40 College Campuses and from Communities and Corporations
    eager to ship out to France as soon as possible. The units were recruited from over 40 college campuses and from communities and corporations. These men formed strong bonds since they joined together, trained together, and served together in the field. They trained at Camp Crane at the Allentown Fair Grounds in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Here they were quartered in animal barns. While in training the units competed against each other in sports such as baseball, football and track events. They also formed musical bands to provide for their own entertainment. The obvious result was a strong esprit de corps and high morale. The units served with distinction through the war and during the occupation of Germany. Many individuals were decorated with the war crosses of France and Italy, and some units received citations for the exemplary service. In the closing months of World War I, the idea evolved to form a veterans association in order to perpetuate the friendships formed by the men of the service. Committees were formed by commanders in France and Italy to create the organization and register members. The association was open to men of the American Field Service as well as the Ambulance Service. The first reunion was planned for June 8-10, 1920, at Camp Crane. The first president of the association was Colonel Richard Slee. The association created a medal for its members. It was manufactured by the Whitehead & Hoag Company, of Newark, New Jersey, and its design took on the appearance of an automobile wheel with a spoked rim upon which was superimposed the USAAS insignia.

The digital version is published in McIntyre Library, University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire with the consent of the author. i Contents Abstract iii Historiography 1 Religious Fervor 4 Career and Love 6 A Call to Arms 12 Fabricated Accusations 19 Blood and Honor 22 Conclusion 29 Works Cited 31 ii Abstract “For the Confederate bullet that ended the Beloit man’s career closed a life of romance and honorable achievement that will always be recorded in the history of this section of the country”.1 Many of the men who fought in the American Civil War did not know what it meant to be a soldier. The armies were very diverse. Enlistees varied greatly, by religious denominations, immigrant backgrounds, and family backgrounds to name a few. These lead to different reasons for men to enlist. Some enlisted to protect home, others because were swayed by adventure, and pay. Louis Hall DeLoss Crane fought for a different reason, because it was the right thing to do. Louis had a hatred for the institution of slavery. This was instilled in him at a young age, passed down through the vigorous bond of father and son. James, Louis’ brother, said of Louis, “inheriting his father’s patriotic zeal, Col. L.H.D. Crane yielded up his life in full vigor of early manhood on the battle field of Cedar Mountain, 1862. A hundred times he said to me, “This war will be an utter failure if it doesn’t result in the complete and utter destruction of slavery.””2 1 Bravery of Crane Memorialized by Beloit G.A.R.
