9/29/2008: If you were listening earlier this month, you heard tales of the boys of North Dakota’s First Infantry, returning from fighting in the Philippine Insurrection in 1899. The government had given the boys the option of being mustered out of San Francisco or from North Dakota, but if they were mustered out of San Francisco, they had a chance of keeping more money upon their return. They opted for San Francisco, and were there for a good few weeks. However, on this day, they were on a train, in the midst of a five-day journey, begun on the 26th, taking them home to Dakota.
