Grandson's Army Letter Traces Across the Nation
Ralph Rand, in Company H of the 163d United States Infantry, writes from a distant Army post about crossing the country from Camp Lewis. He recalls the trip through Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia, noting stops in Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Washington. He mentions meeting Butte friends, estimates two-thirds of the local quotas in his ramp, and compares youth girls of Butte favorably with western hospitality. He describes weather, lodging, meals, and the high cost of living, especially rent, and promises to send a photo once paid.
