In 189 8\, the 1st Colorado Volunteer Infantry enlisted to fight the Spanish in C uba\, but instead raised the first American flag over Manila. With the war over\, they hoped to return home\, but the U.S. government had other plan s. This talk describes the First Colorado’s role in the first year of the war in the Philippines. It also looks at their daily life and some challen ges they faced. This was America’s first overseas war.
