Thanks, Kim, That would be a great subject, but I've been collecting photos of Utah's involvement in the Spanish-American War since the '70s, including some fabulous glass-plate negatives. Also, I've got other great illustrations, including a big spread in the Deseret News when the men came home (a newspaper I found in an antique store) showing drawings of their daily lives in the Philippines. In the early1970s I interviewed all the Utah veterans of that war who were still alive, and I have a couple of tapes of that. I recently purchased ten largish photos of their activities in the Philippines. So I'm just thinking it's about time to put together a project that I've been involved in for 40 years. Best wishes, Joe ________________________________ From: Kim <kimharch@cut.net> To: 'Utah Astronomy' <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 8:40 AM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] OT - Joe's next project Joe, how about stories of Utah Civil War veterans? There weren't many - Brigham Young told the Saints to stay out of the war. My Civil War ancestors are all on my father's side, whose family didn't become LDS and move to Utah until after the 1930's. My Utah/LDS/pioneer ancestors on my mother's side all stayed true to BY's "advice".

What about the Spanish-American War? I'm probably going to write about Utah in that conflict (including the Philippine Insurrection).
