51st Iowa Volunteers

51st Iowa Volunteers was raised in Iowa in 1898 for service in the Philippines Theater of the Spanish-American War. The volunteers trained in Iowa and San Francisco at Camp Merritt near the Presidio, where a monument to the regiment still stands. From California they embarked on the SS "Pennsylvania" for Manila. After a lengthy and illness plagued voyage, the regiment arrived and were made to wait onboard ship near Cavite.
