Marker on Camp Site at Mount Gretna Recalled Historic Spanish War
Special to the Telegraph Mount Gretna PA June 26 tents of the Governor's Troop First Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry were pitched on the Mount Gretna field near Camp Hastings where during the 1898 mobilization stones from the ground were piled as a marker.

The piece notes two soldiers from the present Governor's Troop who served in 1898 and describes camp life, tree removal, and future horse provisioning for Mexican service.
