Remarkable Capture of Emilio Aguinaldo by Funston
Frederick Funston, the small Kansan with a bold plan, captured Emilio Aguinaldo in Luzon on March 23, 1901, after leading a teamed detachment of 80 Macabebes and 20 volunteers through dangerous terrain. The feat followed years of fighting in Cuba and the Philippines, earning Funston rapid fame and a brigadier general’s commission. Aguinaldo later praised the ruse, and Funston’s career crowned by his wartime leadership and a Kansas training camp in World War I.
