While reading through some of these, the date on one letter stuck out, particularly with the upcoming holiday. It was dated July 5, 1898. The sender is only identified as \u201cOrrin\u201d and the envelope was addressed to \u201cMiss Jeannette Dean\u201d of Girard, Michigan. Orrin, who was stationed at Camp de Soto in or near Tampa, Fla, addresses Dean as \u201cMy dear friend.\u201d The letter details the previous day\u2019s celebrations at the camp and appears to refer to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/Battle-of-Santiago\"> \u201cBattle of Santiago.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYesterday was a day long to be remembered In camp De Soto; and not alone for the truth of independence, but more for the joyous news of Shafter\u2019s work before Santiago. At 8:30 in the morning the regiment was assembled in front of the Colonel\u2019s tent where he read the \u201cDeclaration of Independence\u201d followed by the Washington dispatch. I can not tell you how the men cheered. Only those here can ever know. An endless chain of men formed by a single rank, marched all about the camp, shouting the names of Shafter and Sampson. A salute of 46 shots was fired at noon by 3 men detailed from each company in the regiment. The afternoon was passed by the playing of a ball game and other sports of interest, while in the evening fire-works lit up the sky till a late hour.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sampson is Rear Admiral William Sampson, who was commander of the naval squadrons that blockaded Santiago harbor. Major General William Shafter commanded the troops who fought the Spanish before Santiago de Cuba was surrendered, although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loc.gov\/rr\/hispanic\/1898\/shafter.html\">this item<\/a> from the Library of Congress indicates Shafter may not have played as heroic a role as the letter would suggest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hide-if-no-js\"><a id=\"set-post-thumbnail\" class=\"thickbox\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/library\/wp-admin\/media-upload.php?post_id=1102&amp;type=image&amp;TB_iframe=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-266x266 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2016\/06\/index.jpg\" alt=\"CAWL Letter\" width=\"658\" height=\"371\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"hide-if-no-js\"><strong><em>Rob Strauss is a Special Collections\/Archives intern for the Leatherby Libraries.
