This real photo postcard, postmarked 1916 at Redfield, South Dakota, was spotted
on an auction site. As you can see, the caption reads "Camp Hagman, S.D.N.G., 1916"
- a great piece of South Dakota and National Guard history! The message on the back is very interesting. Henry COOK says, "This is some life, The band plays all the time and all a fellow can see is just rows of tents. Guns crackling all the time. Co. B, Reg. 4, Redfield, South Dakota" |
