Two large black and white photographs mounted on stiff cardboard showing two large groups of men from Minnesota. The first is a 16 x 12-inch print mounted on a 20 x 14-inch black matte board, showing the 39th Annual Convention of Minnesota State Firemen on June 21, 1911, in front of the Blue Earth County Courthouse in Mankato in south-central Minnesota. The top-right corner of the matte board is missing as is the lower-left corner of the image. Completed in 1886, the Courthouse continues to house various Blue Earth County departments to this day. The walls were built of stone from a local quarry and finished with both rough "rusticated" and smooth "ashlar" surface treatments. The building behind and to the right of the courthouse no longer stands. The second image is 13-1/4 x 10-1/2 inches on a 17 x 13-1/2-inch board and shows a May 16, 1898, gathering of the 13th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry presumably prior to their departure to Manila during the Spanish-American War. The location of the photo is unknown. The typed text on the back of the photo tells the story of their departure from San Francisco on June 26 through their departure from the Philippines on October 5. These images are slices of Minnesota history worthy of adding to your collection. State: Minnesota City: Date: 1898, 1911
