Journey to the Mexican Border with the National Guard
Hjelmer writes from Watford Guide, Kingsville Texas, July 26 1916. The 1st 2nd and 3rd battalions of the North Dakota National Guard depart Fort Lincoln en route to the border under General Funston. The convoy includes cooks, baggage cars, hospital corps, and sleepers. En route via Redfield Iowa Council Bluffs Kansas City Parson Dennison Waco and Kingsville the unit notes dry towns famine of prohibition and diverse scenes. At Kingsville the King Ranch looms four miles away as the unit tents near the Rio Grande six miles from the border and 26 miles from the Gulf, with Purdue students nearby and Texas guard units present. Best regards to all.
